"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."
Another in the rune series of painted tapes on gessoed masonite, Mannaz features two portraits of Julie, one of Quin, and parts of other models. I really love the breaking of form and the rhythm of these pieces. The two separate portraits of Julie, though not the same scale or color, read as Julie. It’s funny how the mind wants to bring order to chaos.
