My process begins with a snippet of memory or a vestigial image lingering in my mind. I work intuitively to excavate something new and transformative from memory, latent images, and homages to the history of painting. I set up a kind of "surrealist" game for myself as a way to trace my love of painting, my doubt in painting, and find a way to, despite the odds, make an image that surprises me.
