Exhibition Information

For a little over a year, I have returned to making abstract paintings related to a previous series, Slant Series I (1978–1983) — systemic procedural layered paintings. When recently I was considering a selection of works for an upcoming exhibition, I looked at a number of works I hadn’t seen together for probably twenty years, and had the thought, ‘perhaps there is some unfinished business here.’ I recall a famous quote by Yogi Berra — “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.” So I am taking it — and this trip backwards does seem to be going forward.
