Acrylic on canvas

21” x 17”

I paint a background color and then use various tools to print on the surface. The other marks are made with tools such as bottle caps, miscellaneous studio tools, and sticks. These marks are made by painting the surface of the tool and transferring the paint to paper.

This series is made through a direct monotype process on Rives BFK paper. I begin by painting a background color, then apply paint to my hand and to found objects such as bottle caps, studio tools, and sticks. Each painted surface is pressed onto the paper, transferring a mark. The handprint is the most immediate and personal impression; the other tools create layers of repeated shapes, colors, and texture. Through pressing and transferring, I explore unseen energy fields and invisible forces that move through sound, smell, radio waves, cellular transmissions, and other forms of connection. The process becomes my way to make hidden energy visible.
