My art has been sputtering along fitfully for the last few months as my time and studio space have been swallowed by the banality of life under a contractor's construction regime. It is noisy and confusing and cramped. Perfect for writing angry urban poetry (which I refuse to do) but a disastrous environment for a process-oriented oil-painter with a fine-tuned instrument of a studio now become half living room and half animal habitat.

Another in the manifold series of paintings is completed. An infinitesimally small object spinning, frozen for a fraction of an instant. The forces around it appear as clouds simultaneously binding the particles together and pulling them apart. I may come to consider this a 'state of the art' painting. State of the Art paintings are like a double bounce on a trampoline; when technique, ex*****on, creativity and concept all happen in just the right way to create a master work. Few paintings achieve this level if the artist is being honest.

I ordered brushes last week, and I have felt frozen since waiting for them to arrive. I'm used to thinking about things one at a time; a very simplistic method. I wonder when that happened. If we recorded our conversations we would have content. I read the letters written between Vincent and Theo. It consists mostly of boring accounts of financial problems and daily life, but scattered throughout are the insights Van Gogh had about painting. What is meaningful happens one at a time amidst waiting.

After leaving the New York theater scene I eventually ended up in Seattle. By the nineties all I had left of Theater in me was a 50 character hangover and the idea that there was such a thing as a...

Abstract Painting And The Dynamic Plane:
The uniform plane of a painter's prepared but untouched ground is balanced at a single tonal value, most often that of white. Such a plane contains by inference all the spectrum of colors present in white light, manifested through reflection. Such a plane in pristine state contains as well by inference all possible forms in suspension, awaiting revelation by the artist.
The dynamic intrusion of the artist's gesture creates a condition of tension across the plane which acts as a visual vacuum requiring more gestures by the artist to resolve the tension thereby returning the plane to a unified balance at a new energy state.
Though this appears to describe a purely reactionary process, the change to a different unified state is controlled by the artist, who links a series of separate yet interrelated gestures strategically in order to bring the plane to a unified state which may be described as Artistic Unity.
