The color field series uses multiple panels of simple color areas made complex by the unusual technique of distressing the wood panels with sculpture tools and filling areas below the surface with pigment then applying and subtracting more pigment making a complex color area. The initial concept of this series began after studying paintings of Rothko and Diebenkorn.
This painting series evolved from my work with sculpture and my love for the work of Mark Rothko. I use my stone sculpture tools to "texture" the wood panels that I paint on. The primary texture is done with my four and nine point chisels with a pneumatic air hammer which creates hundreds of indentations on the surface. Then I can screed pigment into the dimples of the panel and layer other colors over them creating complex yet simple color fields. Other sculpture tools are used as well such as die grinders, disk sanders, etc. Always striving to attain colors fields that one can get lost in.
