Painting Strategy

This 8 foot by 8 foot checkerboard pattern is composed of 64 individually recycled artwork panels from older work. Each panel has a cleat on the back so that it can be rotated with the others. In theory it's a painting that never has to end or be 'finished' as they can always be re-arranged or swapped out. The formal mechanics of a visually balanced image is strategic. I also think this might be why there is a history of painters playing chess and vice versa. They are both timeless games. This has been exhibited once in Raleigh North Carolina.

This is one oil painting.

This is one of the 64 panels.
