About the Item

Represented by George Billis Gallery, NYC & LA -- Humanity is archival, like the strata that compose the earth. Our structures and art, superfund sites to cathedrals, exist because of us. The things we create form layers upon the earth, reflecting humankind, interwoven with the natural world that birthed us. We make the marks we make, like creases in one’s face, witnessing and demonstrating the story of each life. "We won’t be here forever. We can’t be. It is not tragic. Our choice is whether to exist in fear, or to see our existence as a celebration of our existence. Life is archival. "My paintings contemplate the geometry and emptiness of structures, visually and metaphorically. Like silent sentries, structures observe, record and imply change in time. Buildings, as elements in the gigantic still life constructions that form our urban environment inform both an understanding and unity with the made and natural world." Colors: Yellowe, Orange, Red, Blue Notes: Trains, Locomotive, Industrial, Urban
