ARTIST’S STATEMENT
In Chinese painting, it’s not so much the marks you look at, as the way the energy moves around those marks. That space is empty, empty but full. If I think of my big marks as traces of myself, then maybe what I’m doing is emptying out. I'm looking for what happens in the flow around me – and seeing painting as a dynamic, a form of energy, a “Movement Score.”
