The Meditation Series ...a spontaneous dance of energy and ink
I always begin a painting by grinding an inkstick on a wet slate slab. It's the traditional asian way to prepare the ink and to calm myself before painting. For the meditation paintings, I carry this to an extreme, grinding ink for at least fifteen minutes, feeling the energy build inside me. I load one or more brushes with ink. When it feels right, I suddenly release the tension; the brush flies across the paper, usually in just one stroke. I never know what the result will be but performing this spontaneous
gestural painting always makes me feel great!
