About The Artwork

"Moonlight", 2012, mixed media. A window opens onto an ambiguous moonlit landscape; in a reversal of the usual visual logic, the window and the scene it displays do not recede from the viewer, but physically approach the viewer. Surfaces are active and energetic, showing traces of fiber, printed text, and varying materials interacting in different ways with the paint and wax that creates the image. There is no "background" or "foreground": every part of the picture is active and assertive. Only the illusionistic play of light and shadow that describes the window frame breaks that surface, while at the same time, the illusion of the window is challenged by the "real" extension of the surface into two panels, one in front of the other, echoing the light and shadow of the painted window's structural elements.

Born in Montgomery, Alabama, and raised in the rural Appalachian foothills of the northeastern part of the state, my childhood was surrounded by the natural world, the rigid social and cultural traditions of the deep South, the distant rumblings of 1960's social changes, and the panoramas of human existence revealed to me through reading, music and art. Most of my adult life has been spent working as a graphic designer in Birmingham, South Florida, and Dallas -- primarily in the television industry -- where I was immersed yet another hybrid universe, a fun-house world of ego, transitory celebrity, and social manipulation. These days I live and work in a cabin on the edge of the Ozark National Forest in northwest Arkansas, decompressing.
