The paintings meditate on the making-process itself and the thinking that sustains my studio practice. Paint is simultaneously celebrated and treated with irreverence as it is thrown and splashed about. Each painting - through painstaking detailing - illustrates the thought process that has retrieved a rationale from the chaotic beginnings of poured paint.
