Trippy Dippy Destination evolved over more than two years. I kept returning to the canvas, adding remnants of paint from other paintings and allowing it to build slowly rather than trying to finish it all at once.
I framed the edges with very old, thick paint, then began filling the interior with leftover paint from other creations. Where the paint didn’t completely fill the edges, I let it drip. Layers accumulated over time—different colors, textures and fragments of other paintings finding their way into this one.
I could get lost in this painting. There is so much happening that my eye keeps finding somewhere else to go, which is part of what eventually gave Trippy Dippy Destination its name.
