Being resourceful is part of the fun. I did a series of large paintings
using iron grindings from a nearby brake shop. I used some pickling
vinegar to produce a precipitate of iron which imparted rich brown
orange hues to the canvas. I used acrylic washes afterwards and later
still additions of oil paint colors when i could afford it. I worked in
an old double garage with salvaged building studs as stretcher frames.
Since i worked in an over grown garden my work reflected its growing
nature in moth process and form. The images were of roots and branches.
I later added a few fish and a few slugs added trials to the surfaces
which i traced. I did over 30 paintings this way. I still reflect my
immediate environment and places i visit. I use bits and pieces of
whatever things and ideas i come across. I still belive in utility such
as utilities of work for pleasure. It is a matter of what you apply it
to. If it comes to food rent or paint some artists choose paint, some
food, a cheap apartment and rust or whatever.
