Condensations

The works in Condensations are “condensed” in the sense that they stem from segments of older works that were of considerable compositional interest to the artist. For this reason, the artist chose specific segments of an older work as a template for new work, by painting into them, performing image operations on them, and otherwise enhancing the chosen segment to the extent desired. He did not bypass any opportunity for bringing the segments chosen to life in a new form. In this way, entirely new work came into being that compacts as well as extends the meaning of an older work.
