The concept of these drawings germinates once again in minimalism, the non-objective, and self-referentiality.
Self-referentiality was and is, for me, a mainstay in an artist’s orientation in approaching any work at all. Configuring it is a means to appreciate the process as it goes forth and increase the artist’s mindfulness of the direction of the process.
Each drawing is colored pencil on black gouache. Each measures 30 inches in height by 44 inches in width.
These drawings are all white marker on black gouache on white rag paper. They measure 30 inches in height by 44.5 inches in width.
Even though Open and Closed are included in this series, the titles evoke a spare direction that is nearly prepositional.
True to form, this series deals with the minimalism and directness inherent in my “training” as an artist. I had to learn to see before I could really SEE.
The title of this show was “Staying Connected.” It was dedicated to Sol LeWitt, who passed away on April 8, 2007.
