-------

All works in Series 30 incorporate high quality traditional media including clear gesso, acrylic paint, pigment-based India inks, and graphite on heavy duty #10 double weave duck cotton. The canvas has a depth of .75 inches, and is framed in a natural (unfinished) wood floater frame that brings the overall depth to 1.5 inches. Hanging hardware is included.

Each work is signed on the front with my initials, and on the bottom edge with my initials, last name, date completed, and the series number.

This work ships in a cardboard box. The work is covered with acid-free glassine paper, wrapped with bubble wrap, sealed in plastic, nested between two pieces of foam board and/or corrugated cardboard shipping inserts, and placed in a cardboard shipping box.

My works represent a constant outpouring of singular impressions: clearly isolated images that capture flashes of emotion, changes in perception, or moments of recognition. I give fleeting thoughts as much consideration as monumental ideas: nothing is more important than anything else and every small thing has its place.

My process is modeled after the methods of improvisational theater. I make a first mark, then ask myself, “if this is true, what else is true?” I repeat this process with the addition of each new element, using personal experience to shape the final image.

Each image represents an isolated narrative, yet all the images together tell a larger story. My accountability for the truth and permanence of this story is an important part of my identity as an artist. This is why I make all my works in sequential series, and never destroy or hide any of them
