Clash Series

I allow elements of chance to dictate the composition of the painting. I begin each work by tracing paint directly onto the canvas. From there, my process is highly technical and laborious, as I cover the surface of the canvas with straight networks of line and shape.

My abstract paintings as 'mind-maps' —visual representations of my emotional state while working on a given piece. I do not predetermine the paint composition because the visceral tics and emotional compulsions guide my painting. It is a meditative, intensely physical process. I have to wait for the right moment to draw some lines. Sometimes it takes days and weeks to find the right state of mind. My breathing needs to be absolutely under control.
