I paint in an unheated studio which at night takes on the atmosphere of a space capsule. I am alone and would like to have something outside myself draw the marks that open a portal. The important part is letting the mind submit and the body direct the marks being made inside each layer of paint glaze. I would like the image to remain a secret but also to be revealed simultaneously. I make markings within a field of color that contains several layered dimensions. This is related to having an experience of feeling free but with definite expectations.
