My recent paintings and installations continue my exploration of materials and painting processes. Paint drops stack up and form intriguing little piles. These pieces visually relate to pointillism in an abstract way. The strangeness and density of the dots intentionally draws in the viewer. This new series of paintings are purposefully obsessive. The installation pieces visually relate to the paintings with the multitude of small plastic pieces utilized.
