This archiving process is changing my perception of everything. Taking me back and forth and through time and my visions and the depth of my desires.

I remember doing the drawings like it was yesterday on the counter tops and sometimes the studio tables in the Art Department at Bradford College.

The drawings were done in response to a problem assigned to me by my independent study teacher: to combine biomorphic and architectonic forms.

All of these drawings culminated in a sculpture made by bending aluminum around a plywood form cut like the simple curved forms in the drawings. There is no picture of the sculpture.

I was accepted to CalArts for its first year in existence and I was assigned a mentor, Doug Edge, who was doing plastic resin sculptures, which seemed to be a trending thing then, e.g. the work also of Robert Irwin, Larry Bell, Craig Kauffman. The mentorship made sense to the admission committee of artists but Doug and I found out it was not my tendency.

So I became teaching assistant to the only practicing conceptual artist on the faculty then, George Miller, now deceased.

Doug always said that I was the smartest person in his class and that I should apply my intelligence somewhere it would be appreciated.

The following images I tried to get into the best possible shape from slides. I succeeded with most of them. Removing dust is not my strength.
