The continuous squiggle line of acrylic paint on canvas does not follow any structure. The line goes where it wants to unconsciously. The only limitations that the line has are the edges of the canvas. The 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 line has also become arepresentation one's life and the quick unexpected turns that it can make until it eventually comes to an end. This is a form of the artist's relaxation and meditation in his own life. The line has also gone beyond the canvas. Other aspects of the environment are now being covered, such as pillows, t-shirts, vases, lampshades, glassware, cars, 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 that ones line of life can have on the observer. What started as just an everyday notebook doodle turns into a
sense of freedom and escape from reality.
