I don’t make paintings/drawings/collages.
I make places; ground.
The places I create have multiple periods of occupation. The geology and archeology of the land is evident in the stacking, layering, repetition, rules, erasure.
Time, weather, water, gravity, pollutants act as outside forces changing the place. Chance, disaster, intuition, occupation, imposed rules offer new opportunities for change.
Never truly “finished” these places are frozen in time, a snapshot of a place at a particular moment in history. Looking into them you might see hints of what they were before and what they may become in the future.
