One a day (or two)

As an exercise to push myself to expand my process and to create a narrative for my work without using figuration or text, lately I've been creating abstract pieces where I aim to follow a momentum and try to finish a painting a day. Through this less inhibited process where I cut down on the self-editing, I try to "design" less and get back to "painting".

I have cheated a bit, and have worked on some pieces on its second day... hope that won't detract from the purpose of the exercise or the process. The following are some paintings from this series.

  1. The last one would look great on my livingroom wall! Kolin thinks the second one looks like a fish face. Nice work... keep it up!

  2. Consider the last one yours! You are my earliest influence, so the least I could do is decorate your walls... although you may be getting sick of me giving you stuff.. or at least Jodi may be. Thanks!
