About the artist's work
About Reclaimed Surfaces:
These paintings are about searching through discarded rubble and finding
beautiful things. I find pieces of rusted, dented metal debris and I paint on
them in a way that doesn’t obscure the original texture and color of the
object. I seek out objects that are notable for their their interesting stains,
rust and damage and I let those characteristics guide the painting.
The subject matter I choose is largely informed by the pieces of debris I start
with. Often I evoke or re-imagine the scene where decaying trash might be found
(a field of red clover, a cluster of thistles). I am drawn to weeds and
wildflowers.
I hope to take forgotten, decaying objects usually thought of as trash, and use
them to make intriguing and soulful works of art that people would want to
bring into their homes, offices or gardens.
