"Freedom Fromme Squeeky B"

17"x 42" acrylic, oil, tape, white out, ink

This, much like "The Sobering Mountain of Faith" that's also listed in the products is made from 3 individual 14" x 17" pieces all combined and fixed to a deep wooden box i constructed in conjunction with the work. Most of the thin lines are actually painters tape that was used to mask off other areas where work was done. It also subsequently was one of the most difficult "paintings" to keep clean (white) I've ever worked on! An incredible amount of effort was put into discovering better ways to use tape as well as up my stenciling game finally. However, all said, the amount of mistakes and spills that were made while attempting this remain historical in all my time painting, strangely with how clean it seemed to turn out too.?! All said, The finished product is one of my favorite pieces with regard to creating flow in a piece as well as using many different methods to execute one linear work. Most dense areas are tape yet, there are multiple images in this that are the "negative" of the tape and, other similar looking areas are painted "free form" or even stenciled.

I struggle with creating these descriptions and definitions of each piece so if you have any questions about the process or work itself, please feel free to ask!
