Floating Mapping Landing
Our Selves may not be always interesting. Or comforting! We seem, sometimes, to dissolve into our environment - yet to remain still ourselves: rising, falling, resting - floating!
In a sense, painting is the expression, and the reflection, of a self that in often elusive. But my paintings are also about paint itself - as expression of emotion to which viewers respond individually. As a painter, I want my viewer to respond - and to think! That is why I use the transparency.
Color is major in these works. Applied wet-on-wet, with brush, combs, hand-strokes, every line of dribble, or sign-enamel or oil, gloss or matte (for life has different surfaces) is the dialogue of a work itself that is never still... dictates change...
