You are in [this] for two reasons: one, to understand what you mean by being alive; and two, to figure out how you’re going to say it...
                                                                                               
 Barry Lopez

Events, things, ideas — anything. Objects and places in the visual continuum, sure, but also from other arts and abstract systems.

The work is borne out of a free-floating longing, the grief of suchness; the whatness of ordinary objects; the ineffable mystery hidden in the every day. Having been painting and drawing for several decades, I feel that I am finally making some progress; which is to say, that although my doubt is boundless, I persist in turning the wheel.
