American Toile, and the fabric of America

 

This series contemplates the fermata, the pause between memory and forgetting, as reality swirls between the living and the dead, friends and foe, combining portraits of people I know and glimpses of strangers seen in passing.  The stories I know and those I imagine.

 

It examines memories kept and memories lost, and being open to explore this realm of ethers, events, and the spirits of those who shaped me as thy reverberate on canvas, stone, wood, and cloth.  

 

The present takes on a new weight, in the solitude of the studio, conjuring what was, what is, and what may be.
