I am a pointillist by style, choice, and temperament, the source of the name Pointiflet. I do my work in that style and any artist who use small dots or splotches of paint or color as a style is a pointillist. It can require patience but I don't feel that way.  Others delight, I think in thinking far too much of it is required, akin to watching grass grow, but I don't feel that to be true.  Points of paint. Well, that is me, except that included in the mix along with the patience to place dot after dot after dot, is a most joyous concoction, ordinary household bleach, and it is used to remove color, rather than add, and Pointiflet, as a descriptive term includes using it, indeed there would be no Pointiflet without it. Another friend, Sabine Grand, who created a beautiful brochure for me that looks remarkably like this website in style and design, pronounces it without the 't', as is her right to do so, being a Parisian by birth and rearing, and it is beautiful to hear. I choose now to work with this rather untraditional ‘medium’ because of the spectacular results I can achieve. The ‘paintings’ you see here with the black background were rendered with bleach and as you can see where it is not black it is gold in color. That is Pointiflet. No more, no less. In exploring the limits of this strange new medium I can see much that I still have to learn. This is only the tip of the iceberg. Let Clorox clean clothes. I will try to clean other things. Let’s see where it will lead.
