My professional life as an artist has always been process-oriented. Early in my career, it was the nonrepresentational image derived from using materials or the operation of multiple layering of the art materials in which the picture would emerge. In the last eighteen years, this same process orientation has been how my current land and cityscape images occur. When asked,” What is my source for the image?” I need to mentally pause to explain the process of starting from a place of nothing, or one can say the blank paper, canvas, or panel surface is my source. From this starting point, I attempt to remove all images from my mind and begin as rapidly or non-consciously as possible. Through this process of application and interpretation, layer upon layer of art material is applied until a final image emerges. Another perspective from John Daido Loori’s “The Zen of Creativity” can be quoted about the Zen aesthetic. “…In no mind there is no intent. The activity, whatever it may be, is not forced or strained. The art just slips through the intellectual filters, without conscious effort and without planning. This functioning of no mind is sometimes called the action of no action. This is the Taoist concept of wu-wei: a continuous stream of spontaneity that emerges from the rhythm of circumstances.” The phrase, “…without conscious effort and without planning…” is the key to developing the ultimate, in my case, land and cityscape image. My recent artwork has begun to explore a new idea, “the city.” In my most recent large-scale paintings, I have discovered that the same process of discovering form and rhythm occurs with the city and a natural landscape.
