ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A visitor arrives over the trees in New Mexico. What do you think it is? Here are some observations: Visitation--Arriving at Dawn. What do you think this might be? Comment by Jonathan: The black circle, boiling with ghosts, Calls out to me on the trail, spins, Then disappears--so sudden that My inner eye still seeks its size, Position, scale, and my mind, numbed, Makes nothing out of it, no point Or idea, just the brevity of sight. Comment by the Professor The word “cipher” comes from the Arabic word for “zero,” the invention of which concept transformed arithmetic from measurement into mathematics. Suddenly there was a complex cosmos that could be interpreted in new ways. That interpretation began as a way of understanding what “zero” allowed us to formulate (make formulas about) the world. The word “decipher” implies that the complex cosmos is a puzzle that must be worked out, a code that must be decoded, a cryptogram that must be solved. Call these apparitional images what you will (and the emerging meme is now “visitations”---a word which has its own loaded implications) these visual phenomena do to our minds now what the concept “zero” once did to the minds that first encountered it. What does it mean that there is something that can be named as nothing? I am not sure we will ever reduce these “visitations” to a single meaning: but they can no more be ignored than “zero.” We are now all puzzlers, caught in a penumbra of wonder.

Starting with a Doctorate in Fine Arts from Yale, I developed conceptual art and concrete poetry, showing in co-op galleries, The Jewish Museum, and the Brooklyn Museum in New York. At Apple, when it was primarily a computer company, I created the style guide used by their technical communication teams; I designed, edited, and wrote content for regular users, and thanks to MacPaint, started taking my artistic practice into the digital realm. I work in multiple applications on a Mac, exploring NASA photographs of the terrain that migrants go through coming to the United States, blended with topographic maps, vector analyses, and color studies. I explore mysterious landscapes, as when the Visitors arrive in Manhattan or New Mexico, strange alien shapes that enter into familiar cities or forests.
