The technique of building up and cutting away all this layered paint not only embeds the work with a temporal record, it produces a great deal of debris. In the spirit of 'using every part of the animal,' the acrylic paint chips are collected in boxes where more time must elapse before they fuse into porous cubes. The result seems precarious, as though the simple geometry could easily return to a pile of constituent parts.
The paint balls, also made entirely of layer upon layer of acrylic paint, cite the obsessive compulsive tactic deployed in art making, accumulation, locker room humor, and male domination in the arts.
