In this piece I am experimenting with different methods of application, scrapers, rollers and spoons to name a few. I find that I am staying away from traditional brushes and artists materials. Everything I use can be purchased at Home Depot. I'm not sure why I'm drawn to construction materials and methods of application. I would like to believe that I'm making some statement about how art can be made from anything, but the truth is, it agrees with my sensibilities and just feels right.
Great work! It´s like a drawing with ink.
ReplyDeletevery nice!
ReplyDeleteYes I like it a lot. I tend to use brushes only occasionally. But I have not thought of spoons....I like the visual spontaneity of the organic mark making.
ReplyDeleteThe end result of doing 'what feels right' is working well for you. This is quite beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI think your experiment is successful.
ReplyDeleteIt has a lot of spontaneity. I like it very much!
Great to see more response for your work

And Keep on pushing your idears.
You have created interesting contrast between delicacy and roughness. Using not-art tools works well with your art.
ReplyDeleteHave you checked out thrift shops for some interesting tools?
Thanks everyone, I appreciate all of your comments. I will definitely check out the thrift shops. Thanks David for letting people know about my work.
ReplyDeleteLike this one a lot!
