" As a kid I was obsessed with clear depiction of space. My Dad and I would sit at the foot of the stairs and figure out the perspective. Actually, my eye muscles were a little out of balance when I was born. I had two surgeries and wore an adhesive eye patch for a bit as a toddler. My depth perception took longer to develop than most (I’m still better with something large like a soccer ball than say… A baseball or throwing star).
But after getting pretty solid at accurate spatial depiction, I got more excited about making it un clear, ambiguous, misleading. Flat and graphic ala Klimt and Franz Kline for a few years, and then lately a purposely inverted space. What you thought was the foreground, upon closer inspection, turns out to far off details. An example is I like using far off night sky with skyscraper windows to form a woman’s dark hair. The spatial surprise feels good. A little vertigo for our viewing pleasure.
Eventually the idea developed to include time. The collage scraps tease us to see an elapsed time rather than a frozen moment.
Now I enjoy this idea for all the senses. mingling all the senses…
I plan minimally- just enough to allow maximum time for improv and intuition " Via EmptyKingdom
