image-8745In painting, I set up an environment where I make bold intentional moves on the canvas while embracing the unpredictable fluidity of the paint - a process in which I am both intellectually acting and instinctually reacting to the natural movement of the piece.

Peter Konsterlie: Star–Mash Painted Trapezoids Floating in Space

image-8267Combines, Star Wars, floating trapezoids, and tires make for an exploded version of space. Found objects are tools and subjects, to create images.
