Order Impulse
Oil on Canvas
60 x 36”
Beginning with the color orange, I let my hand ‘improvise’ to explore the intrinsic qualities of an artwork.
This work embodies the struggle of seeking out impulse. before beginning to make Order Impulse, I had decided nothing beyond its base color of orange. But, as the work began to take shape, the feeling of needing to actualize randomness, even distribution and composition, became more active. I evidently was working against the chaos inherent to impulse. My impulse was to create order.
