An ongoing series of paintings based on the theme of disaster survival tips.
This is collaborative project with Adams Puryear of FPOAFM for “NYC Makers” The MAD Biennial,
select steins on view at The Museum of Art and Design July 1st 2014- October 12th 2014.
These Steins are Made for Fighting. One is to get themselves into a bar/cafe/teahouse brawl and break the body of the stein over their opponent’s head. Then the person is to uppercut their opponent with the knuckled handle.
Pictorially, these images are from a series titled “Rules of Civility.” Hand-painted with ceramic glaze, on one side are average situations occurring in an urban setting. On the other side is something close to a worst case scenario.
Steins are approx. 5.5″ Tall by 4″ Diameter.

Is it a lake or is it a cell? My work can be viewed on a macro or micro level. My day to day studio practice is a meditation, beginning with a process that involves building up layers of acrylic paint that are then peeled, cut, and reincorporated into a new forms. While I oscillate between figurative and abstracted subject matter, what connects all of my work is technique, layering and collaging mats of peeled acrylic paint. My descent into abstraction is inspired by recent trips to the desert, the rock formations, the lakes, and the landscape of the Western United States, where I was born and raised. My work has been described as being rooted in an abstract environmentalism, the physical structure and subject matter is organic. The underlying thread is a vibration of energy, an agitation. Cuts, rips, and scrapes that result in the creation of new forms. The slow build up of seemingly disparate layers of paint, come together to form autonomous structures, that don’t require a foundation or canvas backdrop to adhere to.
