VISION
What is unseen
flows to what is unseen
passing in part
through what we partly see
We stood up from all fours
far back in the light
to look
as long as there is day
and part of the night.

This page includes drawings, paintings, collages and mixed-media combinations of these processes. Some images are of
quick ink drawings, watercolor or acrylic notes from the sketchbook.
Many of the individual works shown here are from larger bodies of work/installations such as Flowebb , which was
some years in preparation.
The Flowebb installation was composed of many many
smaller pieces, each of which may favorably be viewed as a part of the larger whole.
Some other installations, notably Compositions in Neurotopography and the
Floating and Transient World, were composed almost exclusively of works on paper. Please visit those pages for a closer look!
Or to view a selection of monoprints, etchings, woodcuts and lithographs spanning over 25 years,

43.25"H x 58"W, 2004
Acrylic on Tableau paper. Hand-printed with hand-cut stencils on both
sides of the paper, on multiple papers which are laminated together.
The 'frames' are reinforced with thicker layers of paper.
I will sometimes draw with eyes closed to get at an image that comes from
deep within my physical knowing rather than being purely visual. These
figures were drawn out this way. Then I print and paint into the image,
mapping out the energy and layering the pathways.
