I've been quiet for a while, toying around with new ideas.


It's a slight departure, more towards a kind of "non painting."  I'm interested in designing the painting as a kind of object, and it seems a natural segue to abstraction.  I think it relates.  Work that looks experimental and not quite finished is always going to be what attracts me.

Note: GOLD was hard to photograph correctly, but the colors are more or less correct.  In POINTS, the square of the canvas contains another square tracing the actual stretcher bars using chalk.  It's hard to see in the photograph.

GOLD is my favorite. Using turmeric is clever and somehow relevant to the image. Something about divination and of course the religious history of turmeric is rich. More importantly it is very yellow! The image itself is compelling - some kind of stitched patch or rendered account of a vision.

YAY !
