Encouraged by Richard Serra’s statement, “You have to invent your own tools and your own procedures,” I originated the process of rope painting to repurpose heritage for art and spiritual practice.

Similar to a theatre production, rope painting involves mental and physical preparation, concentration, repetition, and chance. It captures the ephemerality of a moment, incorporates the surroundings, and documents the mind.

Rather than resist thoughts, feelings, and the environment, everything folds into my work, such as caliche from the ground in Rocksprings, Texas, thus, blending the artificial with the natural.

Rope painting is meditation in action that explores the mind and perception through uncommon unions.
