My Story, well at least part of it…
Small pencil sketches in a notebook, a language of
lines within predetermined space,
they just seem to tumble out, stream of consciousness.
From a few chosen sketches, enlarge them to drawings,
Spaces within lines to be filled with color, possibly,
oil pastels on thick watercolor paper.
Which colors will work
in a given space, experiment, solve the puzzle –
time stands still, absorbed in the moment.
From chosen drawings to a few paintings,
acrylic on stretched canvas. Size, shapes, colors change
from sticks of color on paper to paint on canvas.
Need to adapt, improvise, try not to replicate.
The more I consider why I create art,
the more I realize it’s about pleasure, the pleasure
of coming close to solving and creating something
beyond myself, beyond what I imagined.
If my work touches people in a particular way,
then that’s a bonus, but not one I necessarily want to control, my work is basically to experience
the pleasure of creation and to possibly share that.
