Composing in series, and often series within series,
all of my projects from the past few decades have dealt with social
issues, and more recently have embraced text as both content and
image.:
-
violence in America, particularly gun violence
(HOW. MANY. MORE., TOKENS, PRECIS, HARBINGERS AND HERALDS,
AMERICAN PIE, EIKONS)
-
the interior lives of artists (DESIDERATUM)
-
odd courting and mating habits in the animal
kingdom that sometimes echo our own (RE:PRODUCTION
Portraits)
-
the dysfunction of todays politics seen through
an historical perspective (WHEEL, DEAL, STEAL, THEN SPIN)
-
death its customs, euphemisms,
architecture (THE FINAL FRONTIER)
-
profiling and identity (The MARK Portraits)
-
the beauty and horror of antique medical instruments
(FUNKED/DEFUNCT)
.....quand je me heurte à
quelque chose que je ne puis changer, que je ne peux résoudre,
que je ne peux redresser, je l'élimine. Je l'évacue
dans un livre. Après je ne suis plus oppressé. Je
dors mieux."
Romain GARY, "Chien Blanc"
