"Once upon a time, dream". Drawing

My work does not conveniently fit into a category. There are elements of abstraction and glimpses of "reality". One might guess at surrealism, but I do not think of my work as such. My objective is about taking a fresh look at the traditional landscape. By using this familiar format, a dialogue is created between the viewer and the image. The brain always attempts to organize the lines, shapes and colors it perceives; with no easy reference point, there may be no connection. A recognizable arrangement even though out of the ordinary begins the communication. Born 1949, New York City. U.S.A.I have been an artist since childhood.I consider that the best is still ahead of me. It is my identity. I draw, paint and sculpt. For more than a decade now, my subject matter in art has been based on theories of a futuristic world. All my work has originated from or related to, cast off objects and recycled materials. My first major drawing on paper series, begun end of 2008 into 2009, The Peripheral World (or Peripherals), was first inspired by thrown away paper tissues, and creased papers. I am currently working on my most large and complex pieces to date.
