Daniel Hesidence: 1 7 7 9 / Pedestrians6 November - 7 December 2008< 2008 page   
sometimes i think your paintings are about exposing something you know
yet at other times they seem to be about investigating something unknown?
 Both aspects are present and mingle. With some work, things I come to know are found through the investigation. Other times a subject is brought into the fold in order to understand.

the figurative reference lurks in these abstractions, are they portraits?
if they are portraits, are they specific personalities, and if so, are they
usually the same personality or mostly different personalities?
I am not certain where these forms come from, however, they do appear to be
quite specific and with personalities of their own.

as you consistently flip flop between abstraction and representation, what
motivates you to sometime choose one form over the other?
Figuration is selfish / to conquer / capture / things contained.
Abstraction is selfless / to release / things released.
External forces and my reaction to them usually facilitates how I
process and relay information.
