I've felt for a while that in my work that I didn't want much surface in the work ( a reaction against the 80's expressionism) but recently I've been considering how the surface might become more pronounced without becoming expressionistic or simply impasto. Thanks for your insightfulness. You might also want to check out an interview I did with a site on the web www.geoform.net thanks, robert straight This is a very interesting and good take on painting.

Painting as Mr. Colaizzi states is complex, and any attempt to clarify seems to beg contradiction before a sentence is complete, yet that is the nature of the dialogue. Some thing about one of my students recent work bugged me, and trying to convey the reason why I felt I fell short and now here is some thinking I know I can send my student to that illuminates my concerns. For me there needs to be some epiphany in paint, a trace of how the imagery conveyed through paint was discovered and experienced by the artist themselves. Not a graphic notation of the language of experience but the mystery of it. It’s quite nice to read writing that seeks to understand the varied means and function of painting.

Rather than being a one-off, would you say that the approach behind these these notes is evidence of an anlaytical method - as such, that can be brought to bear on other, related topics? I'd like to see and read more. Regards, Brian Oschwald Mr. V.,
