"Scraps Woven Then Pinned" 52" x 30", Acrylic on Canvas with Safety Pins 2005
J.D. Hastings constructs his pieces out of pre-existing paintings. The canvases are torn and ripped apart and reassembled using safety pins or glue. These new creations now jump out of the constraints of traditional paintings and become sculptural. The grids and strips of tiny painted squares demonstrate a sophisticated knowledge of color theory. On his website the Berkley based artist expresses a strong curiosity to exhaust the many possibilities of this technique.
