Artist Statement
 

The painting, “Astral 4 (Tattoo)” (2018) is mostly blue. Across the painting’s buckling, seamed, unstretched surface of variously sized, hemmed canvas panels, the overall blue gradually differentiates as many moody, shifting densities and shades: true, violet, cerulean, sky, cobalt, indigo. Painted light reveals the drama. There is also a reminder of the painting’s stitched together, self-determined means of support in the loose, uneven, threads hanging down from its hems and seams. Here and there, short, faint, hand-drawn colored pencil lines act as structural reinforcement.
