In this text I will categorize production methods and strategies while investigating painting’s role as an immediate record of the body, its function as a stand-in or body double, and how gestural marks generate an inaccessible language which incites an analysis of painting’s play with hidden bonuses, idiosyncrasies of articulation, and unresolved, yet unrelenting production and inquiry
