| dc.description.abstract | This paper is a chronological examination of paintings, drawings, and prints of swimmers completed over a three-year period. Explanation is given on why swimmers have become a concrete fixture in my art making process. The topics of speed and economy will be discussed in the following ways: First, how time is placed on the overall completion of the work, and second, how speed functions as an aesthetic power, in addition to the emotive qualities of a raised tempo. The work proceeds to focus on painterly economy as defined by a simplification of structure and mark bending on the realm of abstraction. The balancing of clarity, in terms of referential detail, and ambiguity, as related to abstraction, is examined. The role of photography and how it can be an effective tool when employed as a catalyst for decision-making is examined and clarified. Additionally, high and low chroma colors combinations, used in developing a more personal visceral vision is discussed, and in conclusion, historical and contemporary influences, also insights on the positive nature I feel concerning the creative process. | |
