Making marks, processing film and ...

Ireland 2013, M's reflection 35mm  Practicing presence,      at least trying.  beauty in the passing moments, slip by so quickly and quietly i sometimes barely notice.  The other day I was walking to work from the "L", and I heard the clip clopping of feet, the scrapping of metal, and the drone of machines -  a moment that I happened to be present, John Cage would have been proud.

History as a pile of stacked paper

T ried drawing Robots  apocalyptic survival gear. Not my way of working rendering, perfection,    Looking at new and old -   Reinventing   what is important I write in vague references.   I make moving images, dialogues with color and form.  Abstractions. Coupled with narratives from the day to day Looking   for an answer, coupling   the impression of images on paper, the imprint of type,  embossed and read  forward or reversed. Handmade, cut and folded impressed images over and over again. The ability to make bend, spindle and mutilate. Pushing the ink right off the paper. It’s more than layers. O Summer 2012

I'm still in Ireland

The Twins behind the wall   09/04/2013 11 1/2" X 17"  ink on hand made paper getting back into a routine,  As Nick Sistler has reminded me, "You have to show up"  As I finished this drawing. I realized that my life has been about breaking down walls and barriers mostly constructed by myself. It's hard to see the detail. but I am heading into huge panorama's the original version is 100 inches long  by 33 high.  If I could step back into that space.   Perhaps if I print it big enough, then place it front of a large mirror, then I can step through and WHALA I'm back in Ireland.
