Nocturnal Liaisons Print

Beginning with a simple geometrical abstract composition featuring dimensional tensions and transparency, the pastel painting began to take on a nocturnal atmosphere and suggesting a waterfront warehouse sense of space. Drawn into this space by intrigued curiosity, I worked (as I often do) as though puzzling through a mystery searching for clues. A folded after-dinner raspberry-stained paper napkin came home in a pocket to take center stage in an unfolding film noir drama. A studio dust bunny soon jouned her, two sinister gestural figures began lurking in the corners, and a a lone boatman from a Whistler painting arrived on the river; and now I am wondering what's about to happen. Perhaps you will know.
