I am often told that my style really
varies from series to series.
I do follow my heart with my brushes
scrapers
palette knives
and other pieces of metal
that work my pieces.
If the fact that my style varies bothers others
I guess I just tell them to hang around.
Perhaps I will return to work
that I have done in the past
and revisit techniques
and approaches.
I honestly do not know.
Some of my work flows from a different
place
and I harness it enough to perhaps record it
or not.
I just do not like to be controlled
on any level.
And my art is a fine representation of that.
Control of image
of course.
Control of color
perhaps.
I tend to wander a bit in my paintings.
I sometimes will work on three or four in a series at a time
all with different things going on.
Figurative work
is when I am being more directed.
Large panels of scraping
comes from a solitude.
Small scratches
scrapes
and layers pried away
indicate that the piece
is coming from a chaotic space
and I am carving through it.
If anything that I do is unexplainable
I guess it is just the nature of the beast.
But I cannot tame him
nor do I really hope to.
