When I was 13 or 14, I attended a French speaking school in Ethiopia. It was an immersion program. We learned only algebra and the French language for two years. We got Saturday detention if we spoke our native language at school. The mind boggles.
SuperPly’s Friends is the companion series to my ongoing Super Ply series. Instead of black and white paintings the Friends are in color, some on canvas, some on plywood and others on paper. As a process painter, I allow each painting to develop organically so the character and context are not planned at all. Any text fragments - and the title - become clear at the end when the piece resolves itself.
