MY COMMENTARIES
I have written about my work in
the past; and I've written verse to accompany many of
my pieces since the 1960's. Much of it is lost or has
never been made public. In the last few years I have
begun to include my writing with new work on my website.
I am also reflecting now on older pieces that I feel
can benefit from my explanations or the inclusion of
the verse or poem that I originally wrote to compliment
the ideas I was tackling. Some explanations are edited
originals from past years. Others are new or recollected
reflections on the meaning of older work. It has been
interesting for me to re-exam my motives and motivations
for pieces I did ten, twenty and thirty years ago. In
some ways I feel more open, now, and certainly more
willing to articulate my views.
This verbal initiative, is open to your comments. I
hope these writings stimulate response and I would love
to have your thoughts about my thoughts?

NEW installation “IN A WORD”
commentary and poem:
The camera angle on this small aspect of the ongoing
story of the Battle of Beslan showed only the child's
shrouded lower legs and feet and the lower portions
of the men attending who were moving the victims about.
Even in this abbreviated view I sensed grief... Continue...

“THE PROPHET / PROFIT” installation
in progress
“Desert Storm", sounds like an epic
film, doesn't it?
It was a little war that began with a six month build
up and prelude in early autumn 1990.
There was a lot of saber rattling, threats and name
calling. Continue...
