"The most beautiful marks lay hidden from the viewer"
Recent paintings and drawings explore gestural abstraction allowing intention and chance to develop naturally. Jordan paints on re-purposed plexi-glass and believes the most beautiful marks lay hidden from the viewer. Painting on the front and reverse side of the picture plain is a method Jordan describes as dyslexic alchemy; a dual sided method of painting transforming common paint marks into grand gestures simply by turning the plexi-glass around. This method of painting fills a philosophical understanding of how the world works for the artist. We develop a way of working through intention which takes us only so far, as chance intervenes and erases our attempts to show us something new.
