Creating this body of work was a meditative process which I navigated intuitively. While painting, I was thinking about making the paint feel alive and growing. The goal was to have the paint exceed the edge of the canvas and appear to be overflowing with life.

Without a plan, each painting began with mixing colours, choosing a cake decorating tip, and applying the paint on a horizontal surface using a cake spinner as a base for the canvas. While painting, I would often scrape all of the paint off to start over again. Many of the paintings in A Can of Worms have multiple paintings/attempts beneath the surface. This process allows the surface to build up to be incredibly thick, painting on top of paintings, on top of paintings until it is done.
