Each work was created over several months in his Los Angeles studio, a daily process that encompassed numerous processes and tools causing the surfaces to appear rubbed, scratched, layered, and built up, minimized, thinned and reworked. In the past, he worked only with his gloved hands and rags and favored an earthy palette of browns, greens and yellows. The new works include every color imaginable and result from a new array of hand-held tools. They vibrate with color and reverberate with marks and gestures to represent time–all time.
