"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."
This is a painting of my friend Badger, she’s one of the best models I’ve ever worked with. She has violent nature under a quiet exterior. This piece was created at the end of a three hour session in my old living room in Portland. Badger was sitting on the window box, it was summer and my grass was far too high.
