I find I am working with less and less information. Beginning a new painting I find myself subconsciously focusing on a moment I had, a place where I was, something I want to get back to.
When I am in the studio and removed from the emotions, distractions and complications of a place, I start putting down paint anticipating that the color will lead me along. Color is the most important ingredient
in a painting to me, the component that I find most exciting. I paint, scrape, cover again, allowing the story of it's evolution to show through.
Bike riding contributes to the abstract quality of my work. When I'm on a bike I feel disconnected from what I am seeing. The ground becomes a flat plain and objects become abstract and two dimensional.
