There is an expression in english, Spring cleaning, clearing out the house for a new year. I have been carrying out a spring cleaning not only in my studio, but also in my head. The works I am showing are fragments of the chaos which is my studio, but also fragments of my thinking about art, fragments of my imagination and literally fragments of the works themselves. All art is ephemeral or should be, nothing is ever finished, everything can either be expressed better or painted over.

Thank god for Gesso!
