About 20 years ago I made my first paintings on stone when I impulsively gathered up a pile of cinders from my studio rooftop and stuck them on a wood panel with roofing tar. So far this new series is comprised of oil paint on stones, sand, and rope on a birch panel. The initial work from the late 1990’s grew from painting on gravel and stones to higher relief objects like wood scraps, found objects, toys, mannequin heads, and at least half a billion bb’s, so we’ll see where this goes.
