Young, was inspired by the street photography of Helen Levitt in which she would photograph children’s chalk drawings on NYC streets. What I found intriguing about the works was when she would photograph a cluster of children’s drawings together. I loved how it created this large work; lacking any composition or focus. It exuded freedom and purity which has always been a goal in the creation of my work. Young, was painted in a similar fashion. I laid a large canvas on the floor and began to just doodle without worrying about composition or focus and it gave me great joy to be absent of thought and work purely on emotion while painting.
