"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."
I started this piece back in the Raw Visceralia days. It sat in my basement in Portland for years, starring at me from the gloom, it always gave me a giggle. I finished it in Wilmington. It’s called Perry and Truffle for lack of a better name.
