Sometimes I create a work and I don’t have much to say about it. And it isn’t because I don’t like it or because I think it’s not my best work or that I don’t have a connection to it. This work is kind of like that. Writing this at this moment, it’s been a long time since I created this work. So it’s hard to remember exactly what was going through my mind.
However, as I look at various parts of the work, I find myself being interested in lots of things that are happening. It’s a combination of shapes and their special arrangement or relationship to each other. The color patterns, the detail, the layers. The more I stare at it the more I realize I don’t remember this work. But at the same time the more I like it.
This work reminds me of a particular time in my life where I wanted to allow myself to create without letting the an analytical part of my mind get in the way. And I think, for me, there is an enormous benefit to that perspective. I think what surfaces from that process is a more genuine depiction of whatever is happening during the process of creation.
