My art is about nature--what I feel is left of it-- and the potential of human nature to recover our loss. I have been experimenting with different ways to express this, both in choices of medium and degrees of directness. I have also been working to be independent of any system of a prescribed routine. Currently, I am not pursuing exhibitions within walls, rather I am using my time to write and further my long-term projects. I am exporing the internet as the method of outreach. The "octopus tendency" intrigues me. : )


RED TREES SCROLL

I finished the Red Trees Scroll, an edition of nine. Shroud fabric, linen, bamboo, a Mongolian button and ink. The imagery inside comes from my sketchbook.


100 TEARS: part 2

The disturbing traits of humanity carved in bronze is something to address and pass through to gain more understanding of our world. I took my city and ocean location photos...then in October they went east into brine! I would like to thank the wonderful Tiffany Family for opening their home and sea on Buzzard's Bay to become tear keepers for a time. The moment the tears met salt the patina began. My hope is that the words fill in with ocean earth to disappear. In early 2008 the complete saga of part 2 will appear on my site.

PAINTING

I am thrilled that my 2-d world is opening up. Because I have been given more opportunity to speak, I am able to paint the secrets on my mind. View selected paintings from 2007 where there is a return to a dense and dark color. To me, each painting is a small scene from an opera!
