ARTIST'S STATEMENT
After beginning on
large
rolls of wrapping paper
spread on the ground and
photographing them
from 4th story windows and balconies, I
went thru
periods where scale mattered and then didn’t matter.
Wrote a paper on
why I paint large but a year later could not answer
the question why do
you paint so large? I have found a way to create
scale in smaller works.
Something Philips said could not be done, but
retracted the statement
after seeing a series of 2x3 ft works on paper. One
of which got 2nd prize.
I
have continued to paint smaller works in landscape
and portrait format
both figurative and abstract but usually with a wide
stroke looking for a
A
transient state of vision that suggests vastness but
not high definition.
After all, the medium is paint and I prefer the
medium to look like paint.
The New England beach series was not painted in New
England and is
a direct result of a series of 4 paintings called
Putting the Landscape in
Perspective, 2000. These are a repeat of a concept
which began with an
interior representation of an typical living room
scene – picture window,
front door and electrical outlet – which was my
first painting in art school
1963. My consistency is so consistent that I often
do stuff deliberately
Inconsistent in order to solve new difficulties and
challenges.

the years
