Artists Statement:
"Acrylic paint allows me to layer and build by gauging, scrapping, dripping,
implying an almost sculpture like method to a two dimensional surface.
Bold shapes rest themselves on almost stick like lines. Dripping allows a
fluid like motion. I love the idea of provoking an interplay between line,
shape, and color. A kind of chaotic disorder between tention and balance
is created that somehow eventually settles itself, and all elements
contribute and embrace the constraints of the canvas."
