"I direct the focus in my paintings to the viewer experience, and away from the notion of the painting itself as a bearer of content. Discordant components and qualities in each painting pose questions for the viewer, suspending resolution, and provide a space for the viewer’s own meditations. The idea is to give, not tell, and for the painting to provide an experience that unfolds over time."


I'm not sure to how to react to this, all I can say is when I see paintings that I can remake and do better, there's not much after thought that I give to it. I am intrigue by the texture, but at the same time repulse by it. The color choice did not appeal to me, they were neither vibrant, complementary or even close to it; it had the color pallete of hospital walls and vomit. Perhaps like he said, maybe over time, some meaning or feeling or something will be experienced.
