Pieces like this show an interest I have in the possibility of frail
paintings, in the vulnerability of the idiom itself as its gestural
language appears to atrophy. There's the sense of the art
object itself as vulnerable, as something that might disintegrate
in front of your eyes. Here there are references to blood and a
tentative figuration in the shape of the drip, the paint splash
or drop of blood. It is a sign of the activity of painting, almost
a cartoon.
