General Technical Statement Regarding Painting Process

I push paint around a lot because I believe that in order to continue developing the work to the work’s fullest potential I must invest my time in dedicated practice.  This work explores my self-directed investigation of quantum physics.  How?  I see and feel paint and paintings as matter that is not elementary and indivisible.  I split both into parts and discover smaller parts in those parts, and so on and so on.  Sometimes I push together and intermix my viscous stuff on a substrate with stainless surface knives, my fingers, or worn down paintbrushes.  The hue families that could possibly form are never-ending.  Other times I split a painting into parts like a physicist splits the atom into parts.  The number of paintings could be never-ending like the levels of matter could be never-ending.  It is possible that there are no “bottom line” paintings like it is possible that there are no “bottom line” particles.  The notion of a “bottomless pit” used to scare me.  I didn’t want to stumble into one and fall forever and ever.  But now I am different and the thought of things or places with no bottom makes me giddy.
