Strictly Abstraction

I make muscular abstractions. I work large so I can fully extend my physical reach and tackle a piece from all angles. I’m a stalker, not a talker. It’s from the action not the analysis— that’s where I get my kicks. It takes exhaustive weeks and bonfires of sketchbooks to hunt down the rhythms and roots of forms, to be ready for the act. I pursue pure abstraction, but when figurative elements surface, it’s because their roots tap into rhythms of a familiar landscape where archetypal animals roam and our ancestors craft stories around questions we can’t answer.
