Fantasma

Fantasma Series 2019-present
Although my paintings are generally in large scale (over 65 × 100 inches), in the process of working on a painting toward completion, other ideas disrupt and enter my mind. When this happens, in order to capture and retain the original associations, I record the disrupting images in smaller canvases. In this work, the accumulated smaller canvases were gathered together and arranged to form a larger work. I take pleasure in adding, subtracting and rearranging canvases into new associations. I call this work “Fantasma,” after their ghost-like appearing and changing.
