ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired by the book Spoon River, by Edgar Lee Masters, and in particular, Jones, the fiddler: The earth keeps some vibration going There in your heart, and that is you. And if the people find you can fiddle, Why, fiddle you must, for all your life. What do you see, a harvest of clover? Or a meadow to walk through to the river? The wind's in the corn; you rub your hands For beeves hereafter ready for market; Or else you hear the rustle of skirts. Like the girls when dancing at Little Grove. To Cooney Potter a pillar of dust Or whirling leaves meant ruinous drouth; They looked to me like Red-Head Sammy Stepping it off, to Toor-a-Loor. How could I till my forty acres not to speak of getting more, With a medley of horns, bassoons and piccolos Stirred in my brain by crows and robins And the creak of a wind-mill - only these? And I never started to plow in my life That some one did not stop in the road And take me away to a dance or picnic. I ended up with forty acres; I ended up with a broken fiddle - And a broken laugh, and a thousand memories, And not a single regret.

Mostly large format oil on canvas works. Many of these visual spaces are inhabited by groups, or individuals in a dialogue which originates outside of the frame, in a cinematic sense, where the still image refers to a larger narrative, happening around, before and after the image itself, creating perhaps a mystical sense of separation and disconnect. Recent recurrent themes: places of childhood, revised and revisited, with elements of Eastern faith: where a sort of spiritual “cleaning” is set in the context of water related environments. Then there is the absolute opposite space: the dessert, the apparently barren, where the sense of being in that space seems to question the sustenance and purpose of the inhabitants of that place. When more actors populate the space, an uncomfortable narrative occurs, where a relationship needs to be established, where a hierarchy is suggested, where these people meet, temporarily, in this segment of time and space, not belonging to one another of the time and space they are given.
