4/20/18 They are like garments. They are like ghosts. They are like figures. They hang; they pull. They inform. They skew. 4/23/18 Repetition is the monster. Style is the box.

These forms don’t exist elsewhere. They… Continue reading Artist Journal #36

I plan to create a larger set in this series, playing with the same layers of black on white and white on black with a touch of color. Inspired by the famous abstract expressionists Motherwell… Continue reading New Series – Out of the Mist
