Many paintings are begun with a primary layer of grey toned hues which set up a division of space. Using semi-transparent paint in amorphous layers of color, I then build through a process of layering and scraping and layering again. Sometimes I add raw pigment to create a tactile surface. The process of addition and subtraction is visible in the surface of the painting, and invites the viewer’s eye to travel around and through the paint.
