behind feels fluid found gloss highly intrigue layers means paint qualities reflection suited surface
I found that gloss paint suited me entirely, and its qualities still intrigue me. It's viscous and fluid and feels like a pool. It's highly reflective, which means there are layers of looking. You look at the picture, and you look at the surface, then you look at the reflection in the surface behind you, then you look at yourself.
Over the years, my 'Door' paintings have become somewhat mythologized.
