painting and drawing



- there are no straight lines in nature





- a journey into sensual mysticism



Nudes


Though I am better known for sculpture, I have always worked in two dimensions.  Working with a pencil or brush is rapid and  flexibile.  Most of my scultpures and in fact my ideas of any kind have at least a drawing component.  Here are some of my major series with links to more works.


Sex Map


    - maps of internal jouneys; finding our way to the boundaries of life, where opportunity rises.

Fleshbound 

Visitation by the Muse

A large museum installation with hundreds of objects, centered on large drawings, displayed as if the viewer stumbled into the studio when the artist was missing during a torrent of frantic activity, the results of which are strewn about the building.  

Visitation by the Muse- a short film 

Penetrix

    - a terrible scrutiny of a violent nation
 

Language of the Heart

- The heart is a theater of longing

Visitation by the Muse
The Muse I sought was also hunting me!

Dark Drawings

Drawings strangely
illuminated by darkness
