Fragment Series
What is in a name? A picture is worth 1000 words. The “Fragment Series” is a collection of disparate images somehow connected over time by the constant exposure to advertising copy that I’ve experienced. These images, slogans, and icons are not stored in a linear, logical path in my brain, but rather, stored in fragments throughout my brain. Each painting represents a snapshot of a particular moment in time.
Process/Technique: I wish I could explain the miraculous process of creating art. Where does it come from? How/Why do I choose certain images? For me, it is all very intuitive. I begin with one image which grabs my attention. I paint it onto the canvas. I study it, and another image floats past my consciousness. I paint that image. I study the composition that is beginning to form. Another image comes to me. I paint that one. And so on and so on until no more images come. Then I know I am done with a particular painting. Of course, my 30 years of experience plays a small part too!
