I do have a small sketchbook where I make drawings of basic compositional motifs. A painting may begin as a mountain and end up submerged in an underwater landscape. I work on several panels simultaneously and the images build up, slowly and in layers.
Where and how does an image begin–with a theme or a material, with collage elements or paint? Given the organic nature of your compositions and the allusive nature of your scenarios, it’s tempting to see them as improvisations.
Your work is kaleidoscopic, both in terms of how it encapsulates a dizzying array of images and in structure. Interview with Josh Dorman conducted by Mario Naves and published in the catalogue accompanying Lost Divers, an exhibition at Mary Ryan Gallery (September 8-October 22, 2011)
