New Work

Have been having alot of birds on the brain lately. Taken flight or trying to fly away. Birds have powerful meanings in paintings and poetry. Mine are ravens. Not the prettiest bird on the block but definately the most meaningful. For me they represent dark forces at work and trying to overcome those birds plague me. Too deep. Keep thinking of Edgar Allen Poe and his raven of "Nevermore".Nevermore

Ich bin eine Berliner

I was just in Berlin, Germany attending the group show of HOMO BELLICUS which I was in. The show was a big success with over a hundred people in attendance. The show had to do with the absurdity of war. I'm afraid I don't speak enough german to say what people were saying about my work. However, when I sent the work in I got a glowing remarks about the piece THWAK. THWAK is a mixed media work on paper that is 40" x 60". It is not so much an expression of war as it is about feelings of negativity and struggle with those feelings.
