"This new body of work is a continuation of an ongoing series using a custom made brush I call the big brush. Two, 8-inch brushes drilled together to make a 16 inch brush. This tool has enabled me to make big moves on the canvas quickly. This process has helped me to distill the image with only the necessary moves, only the essential brush work matters. A method that trims the fat to reveal the soft underbelly of intention. This layering technique has taken me years to achieve. The experience with these paintings have helped me gain a type of emotional knowledge that if I am lucky is imbued into the work. The entire process helps create meaning through the depth and layers of the paintings." - Josh Jefferson
