• 20 Twig Photographs with Drawings, 2022

  These pieces are another step in the process of building on the basis of my twig photographs in the creation of the Metaphysical Alphabet. These pieces are also framed and the reflections of my studio or me appear in the photos.

• 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…

• 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…

• Corners Series, 2008

  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…
