This page highlights some of Wells' “white” collage paintings created over the last 15 years, from 1998 through today. These pieces incorporate a variety of different materials, including remnants of canvas rolls, old jeans, random cut paper and fabrics, pieces of manufactured borders, ricrac, lace, selvages, seams, edges. The process of making the paintings is inherent in the design of the painting itself, where pieces are added, subtracted, woven, painted or drawn around or on or under, or are actually illusory. “ The paintings attempt to bring out questions one could ask about “reality”: what is real or appears so but isn’t, the weaving of events that create a situation, about rhythms and relationships. They work as a mantra, hopefully bringing the attention of the viewer deeper and back to the mystery , reminding us how to tune into the small whisper within, that, the silence that underlies all the busyness of living .” -Jameson Wells
