I allow the paint to reveal an unpredictable order, random patterns, and multiple processes that eventually emerge as unique imprints on the canvas. I purposely use unique utensils to apply the acrylic paint to the canvas that have a valued and personal meaning. These utensils include a small Austrian silver cup that has intimate family value, a syringe given by my deceased brother, items that have unique shapes and things I use on a daily basis.
