  This work is fresh off the presses. I began both of these paintings in late January and early February. I was struck by the idea of the tear as an interruption or interloper and played around with incorporating it into the work. I was also able to transform the sail stitching on the first piece by using it to tie french knots. The size of the thread makes the resulting bundles look like tightly wound metal wire.

 Today I had a chance to photograph recent work.  This is a delicate dance between two separate studio locations, ambient light, installation logistics, tripods, and clamp lamps.  Can you see why it's daunting?!...I am happy with the quality of today's images although it took quite a few tries to nail the exposure.  Click here to see more of the new work.

  I am finding my recent work quite hard to photograph.  I began ripping, tearing, and reassembling the paper upon which the painting is made - at times mis-aligning the pieces.  The resulting work looks a bit like a jig-saw puzzle or as I affectionately call them - "franken-paintings".  This method is creating all sorts of issues with shadows and edges as I try to capture images of my work.  Here is one recent piece that photographed without much of a headache.
