| Text and Grid “Text and Grid” presents opportunities for experimentation on a flat surface with the purpose of engaging the viewer’s attention with tactile qualities that are specifically architectonic. Through collage and assemblage, I organize an embossed
lattice pattern of canvas and prefabricated characters ‘text’ from re-purposed materials.
A gridded color scheme created from a
combination of impasto and glazed painting techniques facilitates a camouflage
of all imagery. The “Text and Grid” paintings have a long
history that began during the nineteen eighties. I named them ‘Weave Paintings’
because the whole process of production reminded me of weaving threads on a
loom.
