“Live out your imagination, not your history” Steven Covey
Using large brushes with water-based paint, working with abandon on heavy rice paper.
I find freedom, fluidity and honesty in this medium.
Through pure moments of absorption in the work a piece can come mysteriously to life.
This work is a way for me to engage directly with my imagination from point zero, not doing anything in regards to producing an image of the past, and staying fresh in the moment with brush and paper.
