This painting is from my Building on the Edge series, which is inspired by a road trip across the American Southwest. On this trip I hiked through the Grand Canyon, from rim to rim, and I couldn’t help but imagine a city within its walls. In this piece, I merge buildings from Toronto with a canyon from Zion National Park. This painting was created using my inventive technique. Using squeeze bottles filled with liquid paint I built the painting from the ground up with hundreds of lines and dots. After years of experimenting with gravity and rotating my canvas, I am able to manipulate where and how each drip will fall. As in real life construction, the architectural aspects of my work are calculated, measured and controlled in order to assure precise locations of each line. As in nature, the environmental elements are more spontaneous, unpredictable and liquid.
