About

The work started in a New York apartment, in a room where the floor was the only studio I had. There was a stretch of days when the paint got ahead of me. I stopped arranging it and let it run. That was the beginning.

Chicago is home now. The paintings are still made on the ground, fast, with whatever the arm decides while the surface is wet. I keep the names plain. The picture can take care of the rest.

I care about the second before a gesture commits, and about the mess it leaves when it does. If that is where you work too, you will know the room.
