ILLUMINATED WORKS | Foothills Art Center, Golden Colorado | July 30 – October 10, 2021

Lights off. “Whirlwind”, 2021. Here’s a bit of writing from 2019 I found hidden on my website. It captures the trajectory of these recent works:
“I am driven to describe the wrenching emotions of anger, sorrow, and regret in a world of delirious transformation. Deeper in, I envision a gracious immutable presence, yet myself, but impervious to my pain. Such a perilous unity with my own spirit is guiding these compositions, but I am beginning work without clarity of its message. I am the dark shadow in these works, I am – I make – the wounded, cowardly forms.”

@3squareart has a selection of my small framed textiles for sale on their platform. Swipe for the web address. I’m happy to still be connected to the Colorado art community in this particular way and grateful to galley owners Craig and Kumiko for including my works in their shop.🌟🙏

Installed view of three works in the Observer Series, @foothillsartcenter through October 10th. From 2018, these compositions drew from Jasper Johns’ “The Seasons” paintings, focusing on extremes of climate change.

My solo show is halfway over and this is how it feels. It’s difficult being out of state…I feel really disconnected. If you watched my interview with the curator, you know that for me this piece is about giving up my quest for a core truth, about feeling inept at understanding life, what’s real, how things work. It’s expressing my exasperation. It’s not a sweet release, it’s a frustration.
