Skyscape 1

“Skyscape 1 contains many layers of thinned paint, giving it texture and building gradually so that, over time, it became fleeting. On works like these, I choose to edit with thin white paint, because it allows me to work with what came before. So, the focus is less on animating and more on creating balance and movement overall. I use a process of error and refinement, allowing the discordant places to meet the harmonious ones, until I feel like a certain aesthetic balance has been achieved.”
