Primavera I Painting

This is the beginning of a new direction in my series. I reference DIY techniques weaving them into my abstract painting process. For example, this piece is the very first time that I decided to use a pre-stenciled rubber roller like a paint brush. The rollers are typically used to create a wallpaper or textile pattern in DIY projects. I also discovered chalk paint (which is another great paint for DIY projects - mainly restoring furniture), and the rubber roller affects created a "lace-like" quality. I'm interested in layering these ideas that are typically used for decorative purposes into my own painting process that is very expressive. The DIY techniques originate in a structured environment that intend a specific purpose or outcome. On the contrary, within the context of abstract painting, those elements are broken completely down, the roller taking the place of the brush, for example, to create gestural mark-making, leaving bits and pieces of the patterned element but not the whole. Inherently this act is going against the tool's original intent to re-create something else entirely.
