Towers






Over the years that I have painted on canvas, there have been a few (very few) instances where I have had to abort the painting. I remember in one case the paint medium I was problematic and prevented some of the paint from drying properly leaving it perpetually tacky. I ended up cutting it into what became the figures I used in my 'Walk-About' series. Other parts of the canvases I simply rolled up and put away. I recently found some remnants tucked away and it occurred to me that just as I had been able to reinvent my rejected gyclee prints by cutting them apart and weaving them back to together again, I could do the same thing with my discarded remnants of painted canvas. I call them Towers.
