Familiar actions and themes surface as the pieces progress: Business vs…. Read more »

For these pieces, I tie canvas panels into steel grids and paint both sides of the panels – sky imagery on the front and color fields on the reverse. Photographs are not involved. Sometimes the cords extend beyond the confines, breaking boundaries between the real and represented. Other times they appear to vanish, the panels… Read more »
