2018

With the discipline imposed by “3×3,” I chose HAIR as a subject, hoping to better understand and communicate about a feature that has immense cultural significance. The paintings are acrylic, rectangular, and colorful. As the texture of the work became more important, I added sheep skin, false eyelashes, fishing worms, found trash, post its, and other debris. The paint was applied with brushes, palette knives, paint scrapers, drying racks, and hair.
Thank you to Allison Miller and all the friends in “3×3” for the gift of such well considered, generous criticism.

After years of classes, the need for a true community of artists with regular critiques became essential, so we started an on line meeting. Three artists would show their work, every three weeks.

As the Trump administration continued to unfold, the consequences of its action and inaction became even more pointed in particular geographies. It was impossible to ignore.
