Studio Tables:

The longer I have this new small studio, the more I gather for subject matter for photographs. Because on the table I can watch once living vegetation and flowers change. Eventually to become dust.

I am not waiting for whatever is on the table to become a certain way. I do not know how it will change. I have to be patient.

The photographs become like my drawings; most of time they are improvised yet the designed photos are equally as valid.

I have no idea when this idea of documenting the occupants of my tables will expire. I will keep adding photographs until there is nothing more to say.

My Drawing Table:

Occasionally in the midst of working, the way my tools fall together becomes a drawing in itself, as I cast aside whatever I have used on the piece I am developing. The parts of elements I choose and have often saved for a while to put in the mixed media works become different as I tear them, cut them, draw on them, so I accumulate a selection of new parts, some of which I re-incorporate into the larger work. I am trying to get to a point where the art is “sustainable.”

In the larger view, I am telling the story in each piece of where I have been and where I’d like to go and where I actually am, every time.
