I Am the Line Series, 2009: Based on Leigh Hyams’s teaching. To be so present with the process of the work that you become the line. Every part of the painting is attended to, engaged with. Complete presence. New sense of freedom. Had opened up more time for work. Created a life that could support the work. A tremendous outpouring of work during this time. Lots of line work—very spontaneous and engaged. Toward the end of the series the limen image appears. The limen. An opening. A portal. It demanded that I let it enter.
