Artist Statement
This new painting is part of a series of work I created specifically for an installation at the Philadelphia International Airport, which is on view until March 2019. "Core" and 3 other pieces were digitally reproduced in high resolution, printed on vinyl, and hung in the airport. I then spent 2 days attaching collaged elements to the 6' x 20' panel. The original paintings are all available for purchase. "Core" was inspired by my ongoing love of mark-making, process, color, and texture. My intent with "Core," as with all of my work, was to create a cerebral but joyful work of art that conveys my visual vocabulary and evokes the pleasure I feel when creating it. "Core" is stretched on 2 1/2" homemade pine stretcher bars and is ready to hang.
