3:41 PM: these 4 recent painting/collages are hanging together on my south studio wall.
the two on top are watercolor/collages, and on the bottom, oil, oil pastel and collage on primed linen.
the one on the bottom is very different, in that it’s an ano kato view from above of visitors to the museum of modern art in nyc.
they are all subject to change.
3:07 PM: today i’m making a series of drawings with black ink on paper, which will be cut up and used in the next painting i’m planning.
once the rolls of primed linen I ordered arrive, i’m going to stretch new surfaces, which will all be 58x26” and make an interconnected series of paintings that can all be hung together, in 2’s, 3’s or individually. it’s something i’ve thought about a lot, and created different variations on the theme going back at least a decade. i’d like to use some of the themes that run through my work over that period to create something that reflects my present mood and vision.
