Artist Statement
After completing each layer the artist asks “Am I satisfied?” Anything less than a yes, means that the piece is to be fully surrendered, and allowed to be destroyed and overwhelmed by the next addition.
It began with ambient blue horizontal sweeps, which was covered by a portrait of Mellon, which was covered by evenly painted blue.
Next, three blue horizontal lines were thrown with a broom, followed by dark blue squirted from a tube, continued by two light blue streaks thrown with a broom, and completed with thick half arcs of white that were squeezed from a tube.

He is based in Berlin, Germany since 2016. Prior to this he was in Melbourne, Australia where he threw live music events, toured in bands and studied science/psychology.
