"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."
The second layer of a Dysphagia painting, this portrait of Julie no longer exists in this form. I sold the painting before I had the opportunity to photograph the final. It’s a thirty minute sketch but it captures her essence. I do still have the strips of tape.
