I have been desiring a new type of work to grow and develop with since 2014 and the initial Yarn Painting. I only recently began trying out rope as a substrate, and these are the next step in this long development of painting. I yearn to develop my work as deep as it can be and right now these new Braided Paintings are where things are at. I dream of doing these alongside developing the yarn paintings and my other artworks. These works are meant to look as if they were painted directly ON the wall and are a part of the wall, giving the sense of a permanent artwork even though it’s not. They are easily hung with a single screw in the wall.
