• Beginning Painting, 2007

  There is never enough “beginning.” I was desperately seeking a means to dissolve the edges of the geometric templates at this time. As with any language, the characters are difficult to re-work, re-make into new means of communicating. Each part is sixteen inches square. The paintings are done with acrylic with some grease pencil enhancement.

• Untitled, Long, 2006

  I just discovered these drawings the other day when I was searching for something else. They are yet another statement rattling the template of the arc into grid formats. They are each 50 inches high by 21 inches width. All mixed media.

• Healing Quilt Series 1-9, 2006

  This series of drawings is one of the best explanations of my process coming out of using arc templates to create shapes, characters, and language. I did these after I did the three large Healing Series paintings. They are actually drawings for nine paintings. Each small square was intended to be 10 inches by 10 […]

• Two pastel paintings, 1982

  In the 80’s, I did so many pastels, there was at least a half-inch of pastel dust on my first studio floor. I stopped doing them because the dust was going to affect my breathing and that of my family. These pastels were quite large, up to 100 inches across. They were hanging on a […]

• White Characters, 2013

  These drawings are all small, five and half inches by four and a half inches. Pigmented pen on black rag paper. The “character” designation manifests my concern with developing a language of sorts, even though no character means anything, only itself. This group of nine was not the only time I dealt with this stepping […]

• 50 Lines within a Square, 1973

  These drawings adhered to the “concept” of doing them which is denoted by the titles. Seriously, the titles go on and on in a conceptual-art-descriptive format unfolding every detail of the idea that can be verbalized. Top: “25 Attempts to Fill a Square with 50 non-ruled lines…” Bottom: Top: “25 Attempts to Fill a Square […]

• Single Loopy Lines 1-9, 2013

  I never stop believing in the simplicity of these kind of lines. Each is fourteen by eleven inches. Plain ol’ pen on rag paper.

• Five Wavy Lines, 1973-4

  These eleven drawings are only the beginning of repeating the same drawing intentions over and over again on the same-sized paper. I dealt with lines across the page here as if they marked horizon lines. My interest in the horizontal line equates with the view from my studio window at CalArts my last year and […]

• Untitled Drawings, 2012

  These drawings have no meaning. They are mere vehicles to move the colored pencil around the paper in a fairly uniform way. They are all small, maybe 9 inches by 8 inches. A contrast to the large black and white drawings also executed in this year.
