Lines. Lines divide, lines frame, lines reduce, lines guide. Lines fine and full, tracing a memory, mapping, reconstructing, denying. Lines biased with perception of how randomness looks. Lines bunching the line of time.
Lines of suggestion. Lines that control and appear confident, a fractal failing to expand. What can not be described with a line. Simple alphabetic letters in a word ceases to be a line.
When I ink, draw, doodle, and paint a line to control a moment it records
built from event upon event each contributing to an outcome, i no longer see the line I recall that moment when she died, or his loss, their happiness, or my humiliation. I make these things to investigate how to remember without seeing the line.
Many of my painting are 24”x 36”canvases layered with multiple coats of gesso, sanded smooth until silky, I ink with a .25 rapidograph for the fine inkwork and use oil paint.
