This series of paintings was an extension of my working process - of letting my hands direct me - become my visual guides. I wanted to circumvent any thought/idea. I wanted the lines to flow from my fingers.
I am transferring oil pigment from my hands onto the paper- spreading and rubbing the pigment, layering images, shaping an outline, leaving traces and prints and wiping others away to a faint tint. The forms are not fixed - they are in transition. The translucency of the paper offers a luminosity that I have exaggerated by using iridescent color.
The abstract images reference the natural world in part, and are, in part, an internal vision of it.
Mostly they are physical marks, gestures, tracks.

“(these paintings) are how it is when you scare up a pheasant and
it is all color and motion and sound.” Leslie Woodward
