It's all about the line. Subject matter blown up into abstraction then broken down into simple lines, retaining only the most important line and color hints for reference. I sand, carve, scar the surface harshly leaving raw grain of the wood exposed and vulnerable, other areas thick with paint glazes, wax and varnishes create sensitivity in built up painted areas. The title forces and instructs the viewer to share in the line’s deliberate simple boldness.
