In 2021 Gregg and I started collaborating more closely on a sculpture that became Poly Means Many. Since working in 3-D isn’t my usual medium, I also turned to paint, like a security blanket. The elements I tried to capture in this painting were steel arcs and a stacked glass shaft through a center. After a lot of struggle , I decided to forget about representing a sculpture, and worked on it as a painting. The whole time we were working on Poly Means Many as well, which then influenced the painting. A year and a half later, I’m done. What I have found is that some paintings need a long time to simmer, before you taste them. Declare it’s soup, or add a touch of spice and move on.
