Misteriose Tracce I
oil/cold wax/mixed media on panel 40” x 30”
“Iembrace the unpredictable and experimental nature of combining materials and thrive on unfamiliarity when
making an image. Most of my recent paintings are made on braced panel with oil paint, beeswax (cold wax), and other media such as powdered marble, dry pigment, gold leaf, and a wide range of drawing media. The process includes add- ing and subtracting paint, erasing, excavating, scraping, and improvisational calligraphic mark making. These marks may be almost legible at times, but often inhabit the ideas found in Asemic or illegible writing. This creates mysterious writ- ten and drawn messages that hover between recognition and suggestion, specificity and chance.”
