Lingering Summer...

I've just wrapped up two pieces begun this summer. Both of these followed a long stretch of frustrating works on paper, which in hindsight I can dub "The Good-for-Something Drawings."

Tether. 2015. Mixed media on canvas. 23" x 18 1/2." $275

Tahawus. 2015. Mixed media on linen, wood, and aluminum. 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" x 3." $175

In searching for names for these two, it became clear to me how much my July trip up Mt Marcy impacted my work. I find boulder-like forms creeping in and merging with the urban environment.

The title for Tether, at left, was pulled from my experience of the High Peaks - the sensation of being so small and surrounded by giants, and of sky on all sides with nothing to hold one to the ground.
