Sowing Seeds of an Urban Myth
And a bunch of newer paintings
Sections titled "Seeds"' "Busyness", and "Pandaemonic Encounters" (if you get lost)
For me, i rarely approach a work with a preconception of how it should look. It's much too frustrating, and i'm just not that good.
My best laid plans are never realized, and often what i end up with has little or nothing to do with my initial premise. Even when a piece is finished ( which only means i've stopped working on it ) , what has been of interest to me has more to do with the process or evolution than the product.
It's not a very efficient way to work, i suppose.
So, in not thinking too much about what i'm trying to do, and just doing it, i've ended up with a pile of extrusions that seemingly have only one common attribute, that i did them.
My intention with this site is to look at how my piles ended up looking, proverbially roll them into little balls, and try and categorize them a little more specifically. i hope this mental masturbation will be half as amusing to you the viewer, as it is to me me, the doo-dooer.
