The environment I live in and the landscapes I travel to are the content of my work. This has always been so. I need personal contact with a place to have the sensory information to create a convincing work. My paintings always begin with an experience in a landscape. Whether it’s a walk in a local park or a destination hike, what happens while in that location is critical. It’s the experience that is my true subject.
My earliest artistic influence came from the Zen Japanese aesthetic depicted in the encyclopedias in our home; then, later, from the insights of the American abstract expressionists, whose conviction that meaningful, honest painting was best achieved through improvisation inspired me.
remember when lol meant “laughing out loud” instead of “this is to indicate that this brief text isn’t hostile”
These vines are my life
i am on the fucking floor DYING
Let us watch as this man’s life devolves
This video reads like this man has been placed under a curse and he is physically incapable of resisting the cup shuffle
