Art is a way of encoding information. Into each painting, I build a complex series of overlapping painted areas and crosscutting marks, carefully embedding visible, step-by-step evidence of how the work was made through time. This record of evidence is composed of numerous small facts – provable facts – that fill up the painting.
When the sequence of events that created the work is unraveled, related questions may be answered as well. For example, anagrammatic text becomes legible when letters are ordered from oldest to youngest. Created in a transparent, repeatable way, each painting is an opportunity to experience a search for truth.
