The individual #triptych panels of
"The Typesetter's Song"
#Whitman's lifelong practice of revision and reworking resonated with my #process of excerpted #text defining the surface structure & #colorfield, which resonate through the layers of #painting changes. It's safe to say that I might've continued to #paint if it didn't ship.

The focus of my #studio practice for nearly 6 months: a commission based on #Whitman's #LeavesOfGrass. The research into the source #text brought a new understanding to his approach to writing as a #printer and object (#book)maker.
"The Typesetter's Song"
125" x 60" (overall, 3 panels)
Oil/ paintstick, wax, and alkyd on aluminum composite panel.
