Extra Virgin Hot Wheels

Painting Creation/Destruction

Here is a short tube of my work in action. Sometimes I can tell when my paintings are not going to work, and this is a painting that I tore down. I ended up re-stretching the canvas and creating Extra Virgin Hot Wheels with the salvaged cars.

Work in progress
2006 - 2007

The art work is created by creating the painting all at once. ("A One Shot effort.") There are no corrections that can be made once the binder dries the die-cast toy cars to the canvas.
