Ode to sandpaper

It was by pure chance that i discovered what the application of sandpaper would do to my experimentation. It seemed a weird concept taking off what you just put on.... how could this possibly have any advantages? would it destroy what i was trying to achieve, would kill the idea of purity, and cleansing form. yes actually it did. but it added a new dimension to the art, that of texture and introducing in a sense "the old" with "the new". Putting these paintings alongside my previous works of the edgy modern paintings that were that directly related to Mondrian and his work showed almost complete universe if you will.  but at the same time become some what tongue and cheek in the whole matter. poking fun at many things from the De Stijl movement, to retro-ism and kiwiana. WHAT HAD I BECOME!
