Planning and Termination Project



My first priority within my practice is painting. This project began with the idea that I would prepare the wooden boards for paintings. After applying six to eight coats of black gesso sanding in between layers, I wrapped each one in a white flour cloth. These surfaces have the potential to become paintings but at this point I am terminating the process, aborting the possible paintings. Therefore, I consider this a conceptual painting project.

Although this project is conceptual and was initially driven toward painting, it is clearly about conception, life and contemplation surrounding the unborn.
