My Decorative Stance

 I made this powerpoint to present my work over the summer. 

I likened myself to an interior designer. That is why my canvases remain small and my brushstrokes smaller. 

I like to build up detail on my small surfaces. 

Double exposures, if you will. 

I've been re-reading The Unbearable Lightness of Being--  a great read if you like working with polar opposites, or rather like seeing the interplay of opposites. 

My ideas are vast, canvas tiny. Perfect playground for me. 

Here's the (power)point:

I wanted to post it here, but it seems that Blogger isn't a fan of this decision. 

Hopefully the link works for you. 

Any who, I see a blank canvas as a house of sorts. I'm no architect which is why I find little pleasure in building my own canvases. I am an interior designer. 

I like to press my brushes deep into the fibers of the canvas. 

I also enjoy working on canvases with previous paint and muck on them. It makes my "job" much more interesting. 

These are the pleasures I find in painting small. 

I hope the link works. 

Um...maybe comment if it doesn't work. 

Thank you.
