_Neo-Magnon Painter
Medium
• painting performance.
Intent
• make fun of people who paint.
The Work
•Status: Concept.
- There is nothing better than watching a painter make a mark on a canvas and then step back, tilt their head to the side a little and hold their chin while they ponder what they have just done. There is something very primal and ancient about it.
- I will wear an ape suit. I will aim my paintball gun. I will create magnificent wall-paintings. While I paint I will have deep deep thoughts about my markings.

Fourteensquarefeet
Medium
• Pink paint on the back of plexiglass.
Form
• Abstract representation.
Intent
• Represent the human body according to the amount of skin that composes it. Studies show that the human body is composed of fourteen square feet of skin. However, studies also show that most Americans are overweight. It would be safe to assume that you have more than fourteen square feet.
The Work

• The piece turned out very minimal. The paint that was used is a sign paint - oil based, very thick with a desirable flat yet rich color. I was displeased with the final outcome of this piece because hanging it on the wall became a technical nightmare. You wouldn't think that minimalism would be difficult to achieve. It had to float without the use of a frame. It meant that the piece needed to be supported from behind or from below. It was impossible for me to come up with a solution for hanging it from behind without effecting the paint or plexiglass. Anything I did to the back would be visible from the front. I ended up using four machined aluminum stand-offs holding it from the top and bottom edges. They unfortunately demand too much attention. A new solution will be devised if this piece is shown again.
