In recent years, I’ve been painting large works on canvases stretched on the wall, so I can remove them and roll them up afterward. It began as a response to the dread of accumulating stuff after a big move — the stretchers, the storage. I wanted freedom to work large, without worrying about the space they’d occupy in my studio.

This approach led me to make paintings much larger than I had expected and I became fascinated by the edges I originally thought I'd loose when they got wrapped around the stretcher bars.

It’s the painted areas that extend beyond the imagined limits that now excite me. The sense of expansion and of the work growing out past the initial boundaries.
