• 20 Twig Photographs, drawings and shapes, 2022

  These twenty pieces are an extension of the photographs of twigs that I originally took towards the creation of Metaphysical Alphabet. Just as there are many words that can be formed with the any language alphabet so there can be endless iterations of the forms dealt with in the Twig photos. Each piece in this…

• Thirty-Four Photographs,2021-2

  In 2021, I took this picture of apple tree branches spread out on my drawing table. I had to stand on a stool and hold the camera about eight feet above the surface in order to frame the entire image. After I took this picture, I began to do this drawing. Once I completed this…

• Black Wall Drawing, 2013

  At one point, I decided to leave working on paper behind and managed to drop any mistrust of my capacity to draw a coherent statement on the wall. This is one of my first attempts on my studio wall; I painted it out when I decided to do another. The piece is seventy-two inches in…

• Metaphysical Alphabet 1-20, 2022

  The major intention of my artwork as a whole is to communicate ideas, compounded with a background in conceptual art, minimalism, and a desire to draw rather than paint. In the course of 2021, my focus was to reboot an art language that had essentially lost its breath during 2020 when I replaced doing art…

• Branches and Lines, 2022

  Branches and Lines is very large. It is based on the photograph below. This photograph was taken on my drawing table in my North Adams studio. I scattered apple tree branches across the table randomly to document them. The branches were part of a sculpture that I placed outside when I lived in Worthington to…

• The Beginning of Everything, 2022

  The adjusted photograph below is the first image phase of projects going forward involving twigs and branches. The above image evolved into the image below, clearing the way for understanding how a Metaphysical Alphabet is born.

• Grasses 1, 2, 3, 2021

  These drawings manifest a turn from concentrating on drawing images of trees which occupied me for a while. I foraged through my Instagram images of grasses that I took on my Sunday walks in Worthington, MA to choose subjects for these three drawings, which are, in themselves, abstractions of the photographs. All of the drawings…

• A Measure of Life, 2021

  On one of my first walks around the neighborhood within the first couple of weeks that I was living in North Adams, MA, I took this picture. I was looking up the trunk of a fruit tree which had not yet blossomed. I printed the photograph and tacked it to my studio wall where I…

• Virtual Drawing, 2021

  Carole Kim and I met in 2011 at the premiere of Wadada Leo Smith’s Ten Freedom Summers at the RedCat Theater in Los Angeles, CA. She participated in the performance by contributing to the video presentation on the huge screens behind the stage where the musicians played. Her work has always attracted me because she…
