"The Only Difference Between Screwing Around and Science Is Writing It Down"
Having awoken to how I can best direct my efforts as a mad scientist artist, I'm done screwing around, and it's time to write it all down. But words can fail us and misdirect, so I've turned to the unfettered realms of visual literacy. I believe that it can help bypass words with their triggers and pitfalls.
As an outsider, an autodidact, and an independent multidisciplinary painter, I explore the possibilities of what happens when I get out of my own way and nuture a valid space in which I am free to create. Without judgement, I repurpose methods, tools, and techniques from my accumulated experiences to create the conditions in which something amazing can manifest.
Playing heavily with fluid alchemy and chaotic systems of application on large format stretched canvas, I build discord colour palettes with acrylics, watercolour, and ink to create infinite textural detail and colour interactions. Flowing with the abstract, I'm open to discovery of the unexpected and the inspiration it can foster.
Being utterly intrigued by this beautiful world, while witnessing the infinite depths available in all things has left me compelled to represent it with fidelity. Finding the right “brush” to do this, while finding how I gracefully employ it have generated the most compelling results. From this ongoing research of the most effective application of my efforts, I learn when best to walk away.
