2023-2025 PAINT ON CANVAS
Two series:
GHOSTS IN THE GARDEN, 2025
and LUNAR TIME, 2023-2024
acrylic on canvas
Think of it as calligraphy or writing, which in Chinese tradition is an active, physical and repetitive practice. Cosmic energy, or qi, comes down through the body and out through the hand and the brush. I simply eliminate the hand and the brush. I make these paintings by dipping my torso into liquid paint and then rubbing it down the side of the canvas. Between each stroke, I crouch down into the paint, where I can center myself before reaching up and leaving another trace.
