Faculty: Ron Wright
I collect objects. Most of it is what some might consider "junk". I collect objects because they appeal to me in different ways; their texture, color, form, my emotional or intellectual response to them, their relationship(s) with other objects, etc...
I work with (or respond to) the relationship(s) these objects have with each other and/or my response to that relationship. Ideas are generated from these intersections. At this point the ideas and intersections begin to influence the selection of subsequent selections of objects.
So it is with painting. Pigment and binders and supports are all as full of potential "meaning" as the conjunction of one or more objects on my garage floor. Occasionally, parts of the piece, whether it be mixed media or "traditional" painting, will develop into something figural or illusionistic. This only happens by "accident"... just another set of conjunctions and intersections.
