statement

I trust my subconscious. I paint and see what appears. Small half tales show up and I look for meaning. I am lead to the next painting and then the next. Somewhere along the way I decipher a small clue. I keep painting and another little sliver of meaning pops up and I go on. It's an endless process. These paintings are part of this process.
