EXHIBITION TEXT
THE YUM YUCK HIPPY PAINTINGS | Artist Statement, 2014
For all my projects I write a list of notes. Notes that I use as a guide. A guide that will help me remember the original ideas I had when I wrote the notes.
As Charles Manson said “no sense makes sense”. For The yum yuck hippy paintings, the notes where as follows:
Freddy Krueger
Tie-dye
1960’s
Checkers
Diamonds
Cigarettes
Abstract
Mess
(Then I had written a small reminder to myself at the end of the notes that read) So you still want to make an abstract painting? Good luck idiot!
