The allure of abstraction lies in finding more and more of me on the painted surface. Vulnerable, true. Every mark on the canvas, like an event that leaves its trace on the painted surface -does it complement the ones that came before or does it go so far beyond that it makes them redundant? So many get painted over in subsequent layers, others are allowed to show through. But when a painting is done it is still only a link to the next one. Each painting is but an event in the ongoing saga.
A painting, a life, a process.
