I
have been making paintings with collage for the past 20 years. The spontaneity
of collage combined with the rigors of painting and drawing create multiple
meanings whose sorting and unraveling drives the content. My subjects
are improvisations and it is here where my humor, discomfort, incomprehension,
and pleasure can coexist. This indirect method appeals to me because
of the unpredictability and technical demands that it presents. The
fusion of photographic images and paint generates tensions within the
vocabulary of picture making which in turn becomes a further source
of motivation and inspiration. Art history's endless examples of visual
translation offer me a rich encyclopedia of visual forms upon which
I improvise and reflect. monsters One of my earliest series of paintings are of creatures composed from the chaotic glut of images available in print media and magazines published in the last 50 years. The Monsters are imaginary animal entities roaming over landscapes located throughout the United States. |
