SUPER FOG

SUPER FOG is unstable at its’ core.  It can dissipate just as quickly as it miraculously accumulates.  SUPER FOG is born out of an alchemical reaction in the atmosphere which seems to always be the case with a good painting: all of the stars align, so to speak.  In the science of a SUPER FOG, smoke and ash bond with humidity, forming droplets around each speck of ash floating in the air.  As the droplets multiply, the smoke turns into an impenetrable mix of fog and smoke: SUPER FOG. This seems like a perfect parallel to hand grasping brush to paint touching canvas while colors touch each other forming a surface that seems to have finite and infinite space. It is said that when SUPER FOG forms, it forms “an almost solid wall with visibility reduced to near zero.”  For me, these paintings mimic that effect – the view of anything beyond the paintings is reduced to near zero when my vision is enveloped by them.
