Allowing explores the space between intention and surrender as I invite the materiality of paint and surface to interact. The palette is limited, often to a single color, and surfaces range from smooth, non-absorbent grounds to highly absorbent, unprimed canvas.Â
Breath, gravity, and air guide the fluid paint as it flows - gathering, pooling, staining - across each surface in unpredictable ways. The process is intuitive and meditative, requiring sustained attention while the paint moves as it may and the surface receives as it will. I welcome the unexpected and the unimagined as they come alive within the work.
Painting becomes an act of allowing—where intention meets surrender and the work unfolds through an openness to what paint and surface become together.
