Let's talk about vanishing point, the title of this blog at the top of your screen. Vanishing point is, for me, an irrational way of looking through my environment and into the unknown. It is a shifting of colors and shapes around one central continuum (the vanishing point is always the same point). It is the remnants of what's left - of both life moving past me as well as life fading away beyond my grasp.
The street lined on both sides unfolds before me now and forever. And though I'm not really as interested in the individual buildings on each side, I am comforted by how they contain the tunnel track of space (mainstream) that we move within.
I don't believe in, no, I'm not allowed to structure my life around the idea of painting. And this fundamental parameter encourages me to strive for the opposite: to live with my world, to not change or deny parts of it, but to simply see it for what it is. The result is a dictum: paint only what you can experience along the way.
This week I am delivering work to the Beeville Art Museum. For my first museum show I will have work occupying the entire main gallery through the end of December. Opening reception is September 28th from 12-2pm.
