This painting is part of a series I made called 'Everything'.
It is strongly influenced by early abstract expressionists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Elaine de Kooning and Joan Mitchell. However, rather than the sense of energy and movement created through the 'action painting' techniques of these artists, I was contemplative and purposeful in by placement of paint. I wanted to create a sense of awe by slowly building a field of paint made up of thousands of discrete brushstrokes but that also emitted a sense of wholeness.
