Biography | Curriculum Vitae | Statement
I use and also manipulate basic systems and rules of games or of my own. The structure these rules provide are the starting point of my work. The
simple rules are used to issue instructions and outline my strategies in the
making of the painting.
I also allow an element of chance and self-determination to enter the process
in order to introduce playfulness in the face of a constrained activity.
Games act as a model for the real world- they provide a structure for activity
with an uncertain outcome. The act of painting functions in a similar way-
there are the boundaries of the canvas, the limitations of paint, the conceptual
constraints of making a painting, and finally the structure of the environment
in which they are shown.
I seek to create a space for experimentation and play within this discipline.
I want the paintings to have an immense energy, at once vibrant and full
of humanity.
