About 'One'
One is a work in progress; so far, I have completed 40,000 tiles. The painting extends from top to bottom, left to right, with a height of 50 tiles. When completed, the collection will measure 20,000 tiles across.
I usually paint 6,000 tiles at a time. After the layers of paint dry, I separate the squares into a grid and make them available for viewing.
My goal is to enable a community of people who share in this piece, and to make my large paintings accessible to a broad community. By numbering each piece and recording its collector, we can create a connection between the people who have joined the One community.
Now I have brought the collection online, you have the opportunity to create a personal profile and to write about yourself and the piece or pieces that you own. Bringing your thoughts and experiences to One is all part of the adventure.
When you purchase a square, you are receiving the original work of art. The painting never has and never will be presented in one place.
Though who knows, maybe one day, if we're willing...
