• 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…

• 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…

• 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…

• Coming Alive Again, 2004

  These six drawings were a valiant effort to open up the thrill of creation. The wood template was still in use but beautifully, as if really alive and flexible. They are all mixed media on paper, sixty inches tall and are in two parts which make the width forty-five inches. Visually, they have a connection…

• Installation, 1981

  This installation image showing velvet going horizontally and lanyard vertically occurred at Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield, MA, in a Faculty Show. This is also the only time it has been created and was a combination of the materials I had been working with since I went to CalArts and later used in my exhibits…
