SUPERGRIME
My paintings are constructed through an experimental studio process that intends to defy considered composition and gesture. By layering paint and dirt with speed, I favor imperfection and seek unforeseen beauty; adding and deleting marks at every step of the process. Seemingly inconsequential marks can have an influence on my decisions. Color is employed sparingly, quickly and autonomously. The results often resemble the decaying, rotting, weather beaten and defaced facades of abandoned buildings and objects. The mind is in a constant battle to retain a sense of balance between autonomy and aesthetic control.
