New mixed media sculptures in the Blue Acid show combine 3D elements with 2D painted planes, resembling billboard-like presentations. The artist finds inspiration in seemingly random discoveries that spark creativity. Access to scrap wood from a nearby woodworking shop leads to painting on oddly shaped pieces, revealing that multiple themes can coexist based on which side is viewed. Despite a lifelong dedication to painting, the artist feels a persistent allure towards sculpture, which serves as a compelling supplement to their primary focus.
One of the great things about making art is discovering something that sprang from seemingly nowhere. In retrospect it looks logical but in the moment it's an epiphany and suddenly it's exciting to explore it.
My studio is across the street from Creative Woodworking and they have a box where they put scrap wood for anyone who wants it and it's irresistible to me.
There were a bunch of oddly shaped things with multiple sides so I painted on them realizing that different themes could coexist depending on which side.
Sculpture always whispers to me; I restrain myself and keep it a supplement to painting which I've spent a lifetime trying to get good at.
