Artist Statement
About two years ago, life seemed to be unexpectedly and unusually busy and chaotic. Between that and lazy excuses, painting and drawing started drifting because I was used to painting very large which can be time consuming. I grabbed a new sketchbook as a sort of documentation device for my current erratic thoughts and regular life experiences. I still use my sketchbook but this larger painting is a mixture of my generate and degenerate thoughts and current depressive or manic experiences while I am still learning to work anyway. Vincent Van Gogh talks about art as a seeking without ever fully finding. That resonates with my current and past practices involved in trying to pay attention to what I am supposed to make next.
