Gone

Recent watercolor and photo collage sketch from my journal. Working with the idea of a vanishing image. An image of lost place or history or thought, a reminder.

Frameworks

I've always been interested in the process of structure. I've found houses and buildings to be far more interesting while they were being built vs. being completed. A structure that is under construction reveals it's inner workings and gives the imagination the task of completion instead of presenting a finished whole. I've explored this idea begining with my earlier sculptures like the ones pictured above and continue to do so. That's why I've entitled them Frameworks.

Journals

I've kept journals since the 80's. Recording my ideas and places that I've been in my travels. The journals act as a reminder, an incubator for ideas and sketches for projects that I am working on. The painting above was the basis for a photo collage I did years after this initial sketch when I found the house in the California desert near Edwards Air Force Base and photographed it.
