DICHROMATICS
The laborious process of applying and removing, the resulting fragility and possibility of failure are all essential elements if the works are to be successful. They are lessons in contradictions, photo-realism and abstraction, reality and altered states, all leading to an emotional experience.
Portraiture by definition is the recording of an individual’s appearance and personality. I don’t want to do that. The face for me is a vehicle or entrance into the work. I am more interested in the reuniting of the non-objective and the objective, and I look for the tension between the two.
