Describe your creative process.
I paint with a squeegee and unearth images by pushing around layers of transparent paint. This process is physical and playful, like improvisational dance. I add paint with a brush and I throw paint and mediums at the panel. Then, with varied speed, pressure and gesture, I push over those marks with the squeegee. I erase entire paintings frequently and rely on chance for every mark.
