Piece description from the artist
My paintings are as much about the primacy of the moment in which they were made as they are the materials they are made with. Starting with a very deliberate setup to paintings, I try to transgress my initial ideas by allowing chance to influence applications of paint. Before starting paintings, I setup my color palette, mix specific consistencies of paint, and preconceive notions of composition and movement. Then through both explosive uncontrolled and deliberate methods I throw, pour, brush, scrape, drip the paint on the canvas. The paintings take on a life of their own after I am done with them as the paint continues to flow and spread. As much as my paintings try to engage and transgress languages of action painting, they encapsulate the moment they were made. The most successful paintings capture a balance between harmony and disharmony, chaos and order.
