SC #416, 2023
Acrylic on canvas, sewn, 14" x 11" x 1"
Courtesy of Jack Fischer Gallery, San Francisco
I make work using simple, direct processes: painting colors onto canvas or fabric, cutting shapes from the painted material, then sewing the shapes onto a canvas background. When finished, I stretch the piece on a stretcher bar.
My intention is not to make serial work; instead I repeat or elaborate using a loose, invented visual vocabulary of forms, trusting my subconscious to guide these repetitions and elaborations so that the forms evolve into variations. These variations developed into their own distinctive sub-series within this larger, ongoing body of "sewn paintings."
SC #416 falls into a sub-series that I seem to keep coming back to - shapes that are comprised of stripes, sometimes colored, sometimes monochrome.
