The Collision...
These 3 below are acrylic paintings on BFK.
Often, I will paint on top of the image that has been drawn, then rubbed out, drawn again and rubbed out many times. I like to use the same page. Often the charcoal mixes with the paint. During the painting process, I also draw on top of it and paint it some more. The finished product is a layering of the image, that exist somewhere between a drawing and a painting; somewhere between thought and image. Somewhere between the reality of this world and the reality of the art world.
I choose to work this way, fast and exciting, to remind us that it is merely and image, yet that it is its own reality. I think that art is not the reality in which we live, but is it's own reality entirely. The two realities collide when we try to bring art into ours. This colliding is the piece of work that emerges.
