My abstract paintings begin with constructing the wood panels that I work with. I Then start to paint using both high art materials and construction materials. These materials include yet are not limited to acrylic, oil and spray paints, plaster, lumber and aluminum tape. I make marks on the paintings using squeegees and rags, pressing paint through window screens and scrapping the paint back down to the surface. Often, I divide the paintings into multiple plains and reconnect them with linear marks.
I have been cutting up and re-assembling the paintings using a jig-saw and screws to make the construction of the panels more apparent. I use these materials and processes to develop a concern for the surface of a painting and reference the constructed environments we live and work in. Essentially the process of making objects and the materials are the message.
