The great American Abstract Painter Barnett Newman said that we must speak about painting because painting cannot be spoken about. To me, this means that we talk around painting. We talk about approaches, techniques and mediums hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive beast. In may work, I paint as freely as I can within my self-imposed limitations. This open-ended approach both sustains my sense of discovery and allows the viewer to bring their own imaginative perspective to the images.
