All your work seems really interesting, especially the ink and charcoal. But the charcoal seems to have this rawness and aggression to it that I feel really adds to your work. Is there a certain process you follow before each piece?
No, there's no set method or technique to my drawing and painting, and no idea of what the final image will be when I start. I'm self taught so it is all intuitive and immediate, just laying the material down onto the surface on a whim, one mark responding to another and in this way slowly excavate the image from inside the working process. There's often a landscape like space in my works that is emblematic not of any actual place or emotional state but rather the act of painting itself, trying to find a resolution in terms of the form, space, light etc.
Really interesting, I feel that "process" works for you. I love how you feel a "landscape like space" in your works, I definitely see that more in the oil pieces you shared (which really reminds me of one of my past professor's work, I'll send a message with a link to his work) perhaps because of the use of color? Do you exhibit your work? If so, where?
Just posted a recording of a piece I wrote from a recent concert. "Six Voices" for voice and electronics performed here by the wonderful Ekmeles vocal group. Enter the drone!
"Six Voices" for singers and electronics, performed here by Ekmeles at Rutgers Composer's Concert. The text comes form the Diamond Sutra "All composed things are like a dream."
More about the group here, they're really excellent and have more performances coming up in NYC.
