With my choice of materials and method of installation, I confront the notion of painting as a static image hung on the wall. I pull from the context of painting traditions, abstracting aspects of the practice to reach the foundation of things. Beauty is not the focus of the work because I concentrate on the process, which informs my ideas and attitudes about ordinary objects. For me, painting means concentration and introspection, which is also an integral part of my studio practice. The studio is, in effect, the first frame for the works made in it. Unity between the studio space, its architectural articulation, and my objects convince me of the importance of integration. This introduces the prospect that painting, as such, might disappear in my practice in the future.
