All paintings are on housing insulation foam. The recessed lines are created by using a wood router. The surfaces are then primed multiple times using a industrial latex primer. Then the process consists of pouring house paint on the surface to build up the layers and form new shapes and textures. Some paintings consist of other materials such as furniture batting, yarn, fabric, feathers, pins and resin. The end result is the evidence of the exploration and play between me and the painting.
