I've been playing with manipulating the paint using trowels and scraping tools. Each piece is done independently, then later I start putting them in arrangements like this. The search is for a visual narrative--a point where each segment starts rhythmically "speaking" to the others.
I plan to mount these sheets on cradled supports and then varnish, so they won't require framing under glass.

This large painting in the Heaven and Earth series was begun in early December 2010. The painting process was documented with a photo after each day's work. When I thought the painting was complete, I made a video. Later I decided it needed more work, so I ended up making a second video. As you see below, there are now three videos. I'm still not sure I'm through with it, or--more accurately--whether it's through with me.

A few days after my mother passed away in 2009, I shot some video of clouds rolling over the top of Craig Mountain. I began some charcoal drawings loosely based on the video. As the cloud drawings developed it seemed in my mind they were linked to the stones that I had already been working with. I began experimenting with combinations, and this piece is one of the results. I called the resulting series "Heaven and Earth."
