Title: Will It Float (2015) Framed by the artist for a private collector (2020) in maple with mahogany splines. Dim: 37x49” This became an interesting case study, you never know where a studio practice will lead and how it is exactly that-A practice. This implies wrong turns, purposeful mistakes, risk-taking, and creating problems that ultimately answer questions. It’s especially satisfying when wrong turns/risks emerge as what are considered successes. I love having collectors visiting the studio to dig through the practice archives, respond to and select a piece for themselves, and why. This one began as so much of the work, an experiment in my sketchbook, and was thrilled when @kittyminervini selected it for framing, it became a centerpiece for her video chat background, and wound up as a lead image and discussion for the NYT Article @nytimes (by Julie Lasky) regarding video conferencing backgrounds in these particularly uncertain times.
One of my favorite things when I see a retrospective or when visiting an artist friend’s studio is seeing all of the things no one originally paid attention to or has never seen before in an artist’s practice. Uncertainty is really the realm of the artist but it’s here where true creativity and dialogue emerges.
