This post includes the photos I took in my studio of the drawings I did in Sol LeWitt’s studio. The photographs differ in lighting and resolution. To appreciate them without the story may now be a challenge, although, in the long run, the story of the process helps to understand them.

After spending the winter of 2024 taking pictures of the drying leaves and flowers on my studio table, which turned into the photograph series Leaves and Flowers 1-100, 2023-24, I could only imagine myself drawing from the photographs. I am obsessed with natural form because I live in a city. And I want to make…

Way back when somewhere in the midst of 2023, I began the series that I thought would tell the story of my art-making since the 70s. I told the story in The Artful Mind (pages 22-31) that goes like this: In the 90s, I saw a retrospective of the work of Jasper Johns in which…

When I started to make these complicated wall-hung relief pieces, I had no idea that I would eventually title them Towards the Light. The title is a metaphor for my Mother’s death, which occurred on April 29, 1999. The twelve works are each made in three steps. The canvas was made by gluing canvas to…

In preparing these drawings for posting, I had to put them through Photoshop in an effort to bring the images back from the depths of poor quality. In doing so, I valiantly tried to read the year written by my signature. I managed to see two years, ’77 and ’79. It made the most sense…
