I push materials and logic to their extremes, to the point where a surprising and absurd conclusion is reached. I challenge the notion of the picture plane by using substrates not as windows but as literal supports and pedestals for the paint. I squeeze paint through cake-decorating bags because the process and resulting extrusions are raw and direct. My gestures parallel bodily excretion and childlike play tinted with libidinal drive. The paintings focus on gravity, decoration, commodity, production, the body, and excess. I present a painting language that is very honest to the technique and process (one stroke of paint over another), but yields bizarre results. The resulting paintings are gleefully “wrong.” At times, the paint resting on the shelf-like structures mocks more traditional paintings.
