1st post...

This is the first official post of my blog. I'm very excited to be coming online in this capacity. I currently have the second painting in this new series in the works. There will be 14 or 15 total when it's finished in late May. There will also be an artist book and a short film to accompany the series. I hope you will take the time to look, contemplate, and make comments. I'm looking to incorporate light into these works but I haven't figured out how to go about it or even why I want to do it. I will be posting my progression. I am going to be in Europe for a week at the end of this month and I will post snippets of my travels there as well. Have a great one!

All Day Painter

My work is structured in the form of sentences. It is orientated on the horizontal and read left to right. The images are symbols or hieroglyphics that are revealing a story. However, because of the contextual shift the symbols have undergone, the viewer is invited to create their own story based on the enculturation and experiences of their own life. The shapes underneath provide texture and dimension which I equate to the senses and act as a connection the physical world.

Sparkling

It was so sparkly Sparkly like concrete Such wild flowery words In the middle of the freeway I didn't notice the cars and the trucks and the sparkling concrete Running from it Running to it was the same thing How do I learn the difference When do I learn the difference Where do I learn the difference What color is the difference What shape is the difference What street do I turn on What belly do I go in How come I didn't know this How come I couldn't see that I didn't notice the belly was sparkling
