Catalyzed by tense emotional states and contemplation continuing to integrate Public health research methods into my practice. I approached these works as opportunities to test artist materials (paint, canvas, body, movement) as variables that would impact various emotions held at the time of the experiments. Parameters of the experimentation included marking only the canvas, ending my physical activity at the end the predefined time period, solitude, only using my feet to mark the canvas, etc. were all used to control the environment of these works. Additionally, I see comparisons to abstract expressionist artists such as Pollock and the Gutai Movement (specifically Kazou Shiraga) in these works a references to gesture.
