About this artwork
This painting has the compositional structure of a traditional Japanese landscape genre begun in 950 AD and used by many Japanese artists throughout the last millennia. Looked at closely it has the worn feel of a wall in a ancient city that has survived many iterations of its identity. The pale blue and white geometric areas denote abstract cloud forms and are sourced from the Yamato-E Japanese painting genre. This painting is about different layers…
of different histories pressed together to create a complex vision.

« Layers. It begins with the surface: preparation, printing, sandblasting, splattering, painting. Adding assembled histories, dissolving documents, memories, and strategies. Embracing this chaotic and transformational process is my work. »
