Leap

In my work there is a constant sparring between intention and random chance. The happiest accidents occur when one lets go of limiting expectations and allows intuition and imperfection to guide the process. When there is a predetermined outcome in mind there is less chance of serendipity so I try to avoid overthinking. This piece marks my first formal use of spray paint in my work. The beautiful thing about spray paint for me is that it removes my hand from the painting. The hand can make a gesture but it's up to the paint to make the mark. This one degree of separation is a huge relief and release. It liberates me from the controlling part of my brain and lets wonder back in. That final spraying mark is a leap of faith.
