A new series of painted works on paper. Acrylic and enamel are layered until the paint is thicker than the paper itself. The surface holds a history—rough, built up, peeled back—as if pulled from a subway wall. Costello deliberately guides the paint and then releases it, allowing it to fall and flow.  Falling water, fireworks, and celestial bodies come to mind. These works are both studies and objects in their own right: drawings that hold ideas for larger paintings while standing fully on their own.
