Sitting Still 11acrylic on un-stretched canvas
6x4" (archivally matted 14"x11")
The first artwork I am posting is one of the few pieces I've made in the last ten years that is not on wood or paper. This piece was created in 2005. Its development came out of a desire to alter my process and materials that had begun to bog me down, and to re-develop the body and format of my artwork.
The atmospheric image is still divided by the regular rhythm of horizontal lines, but the mark making was becoming more direct than in the densely packed, barely discernible marks of the paintings I had been making for a few years. I still wanted to create subtle, meditative artworks that required the viewer to look and look hard, but I was attempting to loosen up and use my materials differently. Ultimately I ended up developing these pieces into the "Sitting Still" series I am still working on, some of which you can see here.
