OFF ROAD: A Traveler's Tale, Part I
The first states of these pieces were created in the late summer of 2011, by a combination of mono-print and painting. The following summer, 2012, saw them take shape as a series of stories set in the curious rugged landscapes supplied by the mono-prints. I think of these narrative pieces as "alternative fiction". My free expressionistic flow of thought uses popular culture and sculptural ideas to form snapshot views of events or states. And these various figures, who all star in their own stories, suggest to me themes and variations, like glimpses along a journey.
