Swirling energy, fragmented gestures, and layered uncertainty animate Doing it, or Having Done it, or About to Do it. The title suggests a suspended moment in time—caught between action, reflection, and anticipation—and the painting follows suit. Everything seems to be in motion at once: arcs of cobalt and black whip through space, while bleached zones of chalky white and pastel blur the boundaries of figure and ground. Small creatures with eyes appear to hide or float inside the chaos, uncertain whether they’re emerging or vanishing. The edges hold hints of warmth—peach, violet, and yellow—that give the cooler central mass a sense of buoyancy.

The composition builds a storm of competing forces: control and abandon, opacity and translucency, presence and disappearance. Amid the frenzy, pattern and structure attempt to take root, but are always just barely submerged again in the flood of gesture. It’s a painting that holds space for process—not just the act of painting, but the constant flux of doing and being. Like the title, the work resists certainty and lands instead in the messy, beautiful middle.
