05 · PAINTING THROUGH GENERATION
Not to depict generation, but to paint through generation.
FOUNDATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Small points and colors accumulate into patterns. Patterns form shapes, and multiple shapes create the structure of the whole through position, overlap, repetition, and difference.
Structure remains present both when the viewer approaches the detail and when the viewer steps back.
Once a whole is formed, it changes how each color, mark, and shape acts within the painting.
A part alters the whole; the altered whole becomes the condition from which the next part is generated.
Painting proceeds as one state generates another. Choices, contacts, repetitions, separations, and revisions remain layered within the completed work.
The finished image therefore holds a history of generation rather than only a final appearance.
Art that contains a structure of generation holds life within it.
