studio visits

a pause since my last post, yet

much is happening

video takes in the studio and short interviews made...

two critics, and Raffaele-abstract painter now showing at the Castello di Carlos, and the Director of Scaramuzza Galleria, all have come to the studio to view. All have offered thoughtful commentary and valued suggestions.

.

My days are sliding into such a good rhythm of working.  This solitary time has been just amazing.

I realize the importance of this quality time.  Learning to adjust to open ended schedules, uncertain outcomes, 

and this is good,

allowing an other kind of Time to roll with,

 of quieter pulses in which to

 connect 

to the deeper stratas of 'place'.

 A whole, or pieces of inner landscapes forming.

The deeper conversations, and sharing have been mostly with myself, 

and in the studio these expressions are allowed, 

and circulate  

out 

the long stretches of time in my working space.

T o r n  Vignettes

starting to tear the drawings into strips . the white of the edges work . a layer . 3 vignettes

 these beautifully constructed books give 

 'structure' to the fragmented - torn  - lucid drawings

and in this sequence they have more meaning

aligned.

extreme in
