Little Big Paintings
It must have been a combination of holding the incomprehensible presence of my first child’s tiny body in my arms and observing, with some skepticism, the tendency to increase the scale of most master pieces, as if bigger meant better, that made me reflect on scale and value. I wanted to create paintings that, despite their small size, limited marks, and clumsiness, could still evoke a sense of something vast.
