i'm enjoying the tape on these paintings. something works about it. i am tempted to leave it, and to let it become part of the whole. i'm not interested in illusion, -my paintings are things, physical objects made by human hands and force of will, and sometimes little else of consequence. something about the tape left on is interesting to me...it makes the painting an artifact.
These are beautiful! And I agree about the tape, if you like it I think you should leave it. I was looking at some small photo/abstract work at the John Baldesarri show yesterday and he had drawn lines through them (the lines had meaning) but people don't need to know that to enjoy them. Just my 2 cents haha!
