"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 first in a series of larger pieces measuring 24″ x 48′, this piece experiments with animal and vegetable forms. The seething stew at the base and the ribbon storm overhead in a courtship dance. Bad writing and pretension aside, it’s a collection of pleasing and violent shapes whose meaning is yours to interpret.
