Thinking about making sculpture. This is a move that I have thought about for a long time. The pieces I have been making are relief sculpture and are moving toward what I want the final pieces to be. I have been inspired over the years by many artists, Donald Judd (although it took me a long time to get excited about his work), Matisse, Richard Diebenkorn, Richard Tuttle, Paul Klee, Kurt Schwitters, Mark Rothko, Ellsworth Kelly ... etc. I have been inspired by many books, the vessel quality of books. This image of Diebenkorn's reminds me of my library and what it represents to me. Relationships and how things either fit together or they don't ...
I don't think of fitting or not fitting as better or worse they are just different relationships.
It's always in my mind to make things simple. I decided not to be a story teller or a teacher. But, instead to be an organizer of things that the elements can be used to develop meaning when they function together.
