One of
my favorite projects Wave
OF Escape Of Hope OF
is a painting recently done. It's oil on paper, 48h x 204w inches. The thing
for me in working across such length and time, pictorially, is that it
gives birth to so much more imagery and ideas for more paintings. There's a lot of drawing and
painting in this piece, and the way I see it, drawing feeds imagery/painting
feeds painting. I'm in good company. |
