The Artist Statement

I stole this poem from other peoples ideas.

This poem incorporates the first lines or the beginning of the first lines of about 30 different artists statements taken roughly in order from a single issue of  ’New American Paintings’.  I kind of wish it was my own artist statement.

 

My paintings are derived

through the narrow slit of a window

we all know that.

My paintings are visual reflections

my world explores the contradictions.

My qouache portraits are

my recent work.

Investigating ideologies and morphing

the paintings are improvised covers.

I attempt to represent a form

for me Painting is essential.

My work expands the limitations

my work has always left a bad taste.

I demonstrate my interest

before I start to work.

I paint pictures by first drawing

relationships between a time.

My work hinges upon an awareness

I have been painting about.

I work to integrate my responses

the allegorical nature of these paintings

I paint meticulously.

These works hover somewhere

for the most part.

My work work addresses.

I approach my painting as a diaristic

overtime.

Be observant, as if

these paintings are from a series.

I explore the layers

a part and a symptom.
