The subject of wireless communications technologyfascinated me.
I imagine the billions of daily transmissions asvarious shapes, sizes and speeds making a crowd of busy, mind-boggling patternsin every possible layer of global air space. Still there is clarity.
A lot of my inspiration comes from popularculture found in fabric designs, advertising design, interior spaces,architecture, television and the web. All this merges to express our culture.
My other inspiration comes from the art ofancient cultures, the shapes and repeated patterns seem to have a strong visualfoundation.
The old and new cultures have given me theability to express the subject of wireless technology.
Discovering unique approaches in paintingmaintains my interest and I constantly strive for it.
My approach to painting is complex, very similarto the subject.
I use a combination of various media, watercolor,stain, limestone, acrylic, chalk, crayons, and rice paper, to give me a largerange of expression. I begin by preparing visceral paintings on other surfaces.Once the paint is dry it‘s lifted and collaged on to the canvas. In a similarway I use rice paper by pouring liquid media. Once dry the paper is collaged onto the canvas with acrylic media.
My next step is to prepare heavy body paint. Thisis done by grinding limestone, Chalk, and crayons. These pigments are mixedwith acrylic paints. The heavy body paint allows me to create three dimensionalshapes and placed on to the canvas. Later on more paint is applied until thepainting reaches a visual balance.
I use alternativetools and many times I build implements in order to move the paintuniquely. Thisevolving process has great appeal for me, and results in something unexpectedin the viewing experience of my work.
