on painting

when i lived in cambridge i made work in my apartment. felix and i shared a 395 sq ft fourth floor walk-up. my painntings were gushy and trying to be expansive with colors of paint slathered on canvas. was i seeking open space through my work?

now i live in a loft. it feels expansive with its 17 foot ceilings. my work is constrained and relies on systems. am i seeking order because of the chaos of the loft- everything spilling out and open?
