The action of spitting is something that is seen as disgusting and to spit on the floor in the 1850’s would be seen as a vulgar act. Furthermore to spit on someone’s face is a universal sign of anger, hated, disrespect and or contempt. I see the action of me spitting the paint as a rebellious gesture, rebelling to the conventional ways of making art. When creating the paintings I take swig of the paint, then attack the canvas releasing a combo of sounds (kicks and snares) working from left to right, the same way you would read music, gradually building up layers of marks created by individual sounds. When I stop it’s just like I’ve finished a piece of music all the parts involved are working together compositionally, nothing needs to be added or taken away. I find it compelling that I can create something beautiful from an action that is considered to be ugly. The marks themselves that I make have a similar resemblance to marks of that created by a spray can. The marks leave drips that are prominent in graffiti art.
