as it turns out with my paintings, a major portion of what was painted (as shown in these details) seldom makes it to the final edit. as many as fifty paintings exist on the surface during its morphology with only potions of each surviving in the end. i've been exploring this method since 1974. material advances over the past decade has allowed me to pursue the process in more depth. lately i've come across a few new developments that will be appearing in the next round of pieces. very darwinian in nature and definitely appropriate in terms of representing our culture.
