potential assumptions dictated by process

Remnants of what seems to be destroyed

or the remnants of one act manifesting into a wholly new form,

there is a fluidity that becomes truncated and frozen
These two are on drop cloths I admired while painting backgrounds.

In a way it was sort-of like painting blind,

or printmaking, pressing and bleeding through unprimed cloth.
again, I find ,what I see as, beauty in what lies on the floor protecting a surface.

The catch of random mark-making ,

the unintentional composition brought to intention,

the ragged edge of the cloth

The one above also includes dried latex paint. This I discovered while cleaning out old buckets of paint to use for fresh.

I like the incredibly opaque and flatness it provides in juxtaposition of the silver and gold...

SURFACE SPEAKING TO WHAT I DON"T KNOW
Here are the pieces I was working on exploring methods of gilding with leaf metals, gold, silver and aluminum.

My favorite is the silver but it proves to also be the most expensive .

Tim did a nice job photographing them. thanks tim
