The continuous squiggle line of acrylic paint on canvas does not follow any structure. The line goes where it wants to unconciously. The only limitations that the line has are the edges of the canvas. This hand painted line begins in one area of the canvas and ends in another area. Images, different shapes, and even objects suddenly appear as the squiggle line is created and the viewer actually observes what they want to see. A feeling of freedom, focus, and escape from reality are felt during this process. The squiggle line has also gone beyond the canvas. Other aspects of our environment are now being covered, such as pillows, t-shirts, vases, journal covers, lampshades, dinnerware, chairs, and walls that surround us. The infinite chaos of the line is felt even more intensely beyond the life of the canvas into our own everyday environment. The infinite line covering a larger scale on bigger canvas also reveals the over powering effect the line can have on the viewer. Making the continuous squiggle line an actual environment that will be felt by just viewing it is something I would like everyone to experience and a show will assist me in doing just that. What started as just an everyday notebook doodle turns into a sense of freedom and escape from reality, which is something I hope to achieve for everyone who views it.
