From the Hearts Under Construction series...
"What I paint is always about revealing the landscape of the mind and the heart. It's about unknown possibilities and what keeps everything in a perpetual state of becoming and the realization that we are all, always, liminal.
Although I have a vision of each image I will create before I start, I never know how I will get it onto the canvas. I stay constant and present, work faithfully, and watch it appear. I make a field of color, often relying on instinct alone, and then apply dots of color with care – drop by drop. I rarely use tools because they take away from the organic process.
I create each piece in the way I experience being alive. As the painting takes shape, the images are layered atop each other, the way a life unfolds over time. There’s the chance meeting, the kiss, the lie – all the events that form the foundation for our lived lives. When a piece is done, it makes a clear sound."-IKG
