Canvases stripped and revealed.



I decided to rip the hessian off the canvas works.What is left - minimal ,abstract marks - traces of what was once there. I'm preferring these compositions to their previous incarnations.This construct and de-construct process is worth consideration for creation of future works.

These canvases do work better than their previous relief editions..The paint, ink and torn pieces of fabric left behind on the canvas surface are intriguing. I like their random appearance and  the minimal application of shapes and forms leaving much of the canvas visible.
