Although I have started painting again, I've never worked in this way before. It's been about 5 years since I've been in front of the canvas; about that amount of time since I've been as captivated by drawing as I am now. How is a mark not a mark but a conveyance of a psycological state?
How does painting an item/person/animal over and over again lead to its re-presentation? I can paint the muzzle megaphone cow 15 times and each time each new piece is different, yet dependent on its predecesor for its existance.
How do I engage the viewer by providing just enough visual information to invite their own stories in?
How do I use my own story and own traumas without exploiting them?
What is a pyscological mark?
Working with the word wheels and the paintings and the drawings is like a 3D spiral in and of itself.
Mirror mirror is also on my mind...thinking about feminity, women's sexuality as taboo, vanity, the hand held, the hand made, biennale-scale work. Rhymes, chants, repetition
