Intro to The Memory Paintings
Musings on Memory: When i say everything is memory, I mean it.
When I look at these paintings, I see paint on paint,
color on color, pigment over pigment.
Color is coming forward, but receding.
Color is trying to come out.
It's a force of its own, yet it can't quite make it to the surface.
These strokes, I just find so beautiful, so pronounced. By layering, they take control of the eye. They guide the eye with subtle, overlapping textures.
This is, to me, a visual a

Rouge et Noir et Blanc et Moi
I remember as a youngster reading Stendhal’s Rouge et Noir, and that always stays with me, subliminally somewhere…

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE?
I feel very strongly about what's going on around the world, as many of you know. Everyday, I open the newspaper and there it is, more violence, more hate, more war, more bloodshed. More, more, more, more...
And everyday, I cut out these images, these words, and bring them to the studio with me.
As I reflect on the needless pain and suffering that goes on daily, I incorporate them into my work so others can maybe, hopefully, reflect on them also.
And so, my new series, W
