Steve's artist statement: "Plastic has two meanings: (1) something fixed, like a counter top, and (2) something capable of taking any form, as in plastic surgert.  In my painting, I try to move from the first to the second meaning.  I often paint amoebas as a symbol shape-shifting reality.  Art to me is the reverse of fixed conceptions."
