In the early 80s, my motivic concerns became geometric. Like some teetering-on-middle-age artists, I was trying to figure out how I could put myself in the world, now that I had a child and was rolling through life, raising my boy, in a big house in the country. Life was, to put it simply, not…

Liberated Forms 1-42 evolved from the photograph series Drawing with Nature 1-100 and Drawing with Nature 101-207, which were completed in 2023. I randomly chose 42 out of the 207 because they seemed viable for moving the shapes within them. I cannot trace back these 42 images to their original state in the two aforementioned…

The first time my work was exhibited at the CrossMackenzie Gallery was in 2012 when the gallery was located on R Street in the DuPont Circle neighborhood. The drawing introducing this post was hung at the back of the long hallway-like space. The drawing invited the viewer to come to it. No one could absorb…

They are 22-1/4 inches square with approximately 1/2 inch between the drawings in the layout. All together the groups would display at about 235 inches horizontally and 67 inches in height. These drawing deal…

The next step in the evolution of the photographs of the Drawing With Nature series was isolating the shapes in the photographs in this next group of pieces. The sizes of the latter shapes were often tiny and almost invisible so I decided to take pictures of the pieces in the series as I would…

When I first moved to North Adams, I had to make some inroads with the art community. My first contact was with a lady whose installation space was praised by my friend who owns a ceramic art gallery that operates on the MassMoca campus. After she visited my studio early on in my life in…

Two drawings out of a series of six were chosen for a group show in October at a new gallery on what is becoming Gallery Row in North Adams. The street is Eagle Street. The gallery is called Future Lab[s] Gallery.

It took a year to determine how to use the thirty-four pictures I took of the drawing below. This drawing was so difficult to do, that is, imitating the image of an 8 x 10 photo of branches, that I took pictures moving across and down the drawing to ensure that I could retain the…

Once I had created shapes out of the photographs of the twigs, by drawing around both the image of the twig and the shadow of the twig, I made scans of the original drawings so I could trace them for other sets of drawings. These are the first set of scans. Another group of scans…
