Plume
Acrylic and paint skins on canvas
54.5" x 50" x 1.5"
My large-scale abstract paintings begin with acrylic skins—sheets of dried pigment that I tear, layer, and collage onto canvas, building surfaces that carry the memory of their own making. In Plume, vivid strokes of magenta, violet, and chartreuse arc upward from a pale ground, framed by sweeping passages of teal and soft yellow. The gesture is expansive and rising—torn skins and painted marks fan outward like feathers or flame, creating a sense of energy gathering and releasing at once. Drawing from an ongoing exploration of body as landscape, the composition suggests the physics of breath made visible: an exhale given color, direction, and weight. What remains is a surface alive with movement, where layered material holds the trace of every press, pull, and sweep.
