Throwing It All Away Artwork

Sometimes I strive for something more minimalist, although what emerges is most often filtered through my maximalist tendencies. This piece starts with a layer of joint compound that's incised when partly dry to create a more robust line-making aesthetic. When it's completely dry, more lines with graphite respond to the sculptural aspects created when the joint compound is first troweled on. And on and on it goes, with colors applied by dropper or brush, each layer allowed to dry in turn before the next is added. Thus intent blends with chance effects created by the passage of time between each session of work. A friend said pieces from this series reminded him of the band The Buzzcocks, but this title was taken from the Genesis song. My pieces often center, at least within my psyche, on the relationships in my life that I've ruined. As I hope to project a joyous tension in much of my work, I hope this piece brings you more joy than tension. If you love the way it looks, that's all that matters.
