In my painting process I use hot and cold wax, pigments dissolved in oil both applied with crude brushes, palette knives and rough cloths. Working on a panel or canvas I attempt to let some kind of representation emerge out of the abstract materiality of the wax or paint as I manipulated it. I coax, interpret and respond as the painting progresses in front of me, incorporation chance. The results hover between form and formlessness material becoming image in the viewer’s eyes. So, I might say, that my way of “seeing form in formlessness” is based on many years of looking, observing.
