My paintings are about the primacy of the moment in which they were made and the materials they are made with. Often they are influenced by my taste and state of mind in the moment. Before starting paintings, I setup my color palette, mix specific consistencies of paint, and preconceive notions of composition and movement. Starting with that very deliberate setup, I try to transgress my initial ideas by allowing chance to influence applications of paint. Then through both explosive uncontrolled and slower deliberate methods I throw, pour, brush, scrape, drip the paint on the canvas.
