UNDOING: In this series, most paintings start as non-objective images of color, shape and/or line. The undoing drastically alters the composition combining or piecing together two disjointed elements – an abstract, non-objective painting with large surface areas covered with spray paint leaving only hints of the original image. These revisions leave remnant background elements in contrast with the sprayed black or white field which helps define and enhance its invasive presence. The undoing is a bold and imposing element, similar to a tag, transforming the work by reconstructing the composition entirely. The idea is to do “mouth to mouth” a kind of resuscitation of the painting – to reanimate it by covering up most of the surface with black or white spray paint. The undoing becomes the primary dynamic of a new altered composition. Strong references to redaction and a brutal form of editing are implied. This form of defacement and the trace remnants of the now undone become the finished work. The act of undoing on its own brings new life to the the painting and is what carries the content creating a visually engaging, transformed image.
