Stitching canvases together using found fabric, Cheatwood’s works begin at the sewing machine as an autobiographical patchwork of “inorganic forms”. In a multi-faceted and interactive process, the artist considers his expressionist mark making at every stage, moving works to the studio floor, then to the walls and back again, simultaneously moving between canvases. His graffiti-like scribbles, scratches and primitive colors are freewheeling yet deliberate. Intuitively embracing, repeating and then responding to the accidental marks that can occur, Cheatwood stitches together a reflection of his perceived experience of the city in which he lives.
