Artist Statement:
During the summers in Connecticut when I was a pre-teen, I lived for playing baseball. I grew up on a farm and had to work hard, but I always made time for baseball. I played everyday and sometimes even slept with my glove underneath my pillow. I dreamed of playing professionally for the New York Yankees. The only thing that dragged me away from playing baseball was an arts and craft’s class in my school’s summer program. On Tuesday afternoon, after lunch, baseball was on hold for arts and crafts. In my first class, they taught us how to make pot holders and build things with Popsicle sticks by gluing them together. It was so much fun. I guess this was the earliest telling of what was to unfold in the future years.
I continued to play semi-pro baseball until the age of 38. I was also into weightlifting and even placed in a national competition. Sports and art have always been my passions. I was willing to put sports on hold for my art, though. And sports have always influenced my artwork. My first great influence in art was my craft teacher in high school, Shirley Charron. I was not an “A” student by any means and I did not excel in math or science. Ms. Charron knew I wasn’t a great student and encouraged me to apply for art school at Silvermine College of Arts. The college was holding interviews and all I had to do was make an appointment and bring my artwork. I was excited to find out that they didn’t need to know my S.A.T. scores. So I met with Dean Bob Gray
and he liked my artwork. I became a student at the Silvermine College and received my Associate’s Degree from there. I went on to the Maryland Institute of Art where I received my Bachelor of Arts degree. I met several students from various backgrounds and different countries. I was fortunate for having great teachers and mentors along the way. Visiting artists were a big influence to me, as well. My college years helped greatly, keeping me out of the ‘real world’ and into the realm of creativity and free flowing ideas.
After receiving my Masters Degree from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1977. I stayed in Chicago. I became ‘so-to-speak’ a “Chicago” artist, living in lofts, dreaming the dreams of becoming known and reaching for the stars. I was still quite naïve at the age of 30. Luckily, I kept my day job as a cleaning man. I worked hard during those years after graduate school and still do 28 years later. During those 28 years, I tried out for the Chicago White Sox...

Senufo Pulley with Bird Head Finial in Wood
Located in New York, NY
Senufo Pulley with Bird Head Finial in Wood
This a well worn figurative pulley from the estate of Catherine Cline (née Crone, 1935-2020). Cline began collecting African art in the early 1960s in New York City through a friend, Thomas McNemar, then freshly back in the United States from years in Cote d’Ivoire. McNemar’s tenure in West Africa had been devoted to field collecting. His specialty was heddle pulleys, of which he amassed a collection of several hundred, in addition to the ones he sold to the likes of JJ Klejman, Julius Carlebach and, indirectly, Harold Rome. A graduate of the University of Chicago and the Illinois Institute of Technology, Cline began her career as a costume designer for theater before refocusing her energies as a fiber and book artist. She was an avid collector of small, mostly utilitarian objects of exceptional form. Cline and McNemar remained in touch at least through the 2000s, when both were still occasional clients of mine.
This example was acquired by Cline directly from McNemar in the early 1960s. Its tippy original base, fabricated by a brother of Thomas McNemar, has been replaced.

Amyas Naegele Well Used Architectonic Kulango Pulley in Wood
This piece was acquired by Thomas McNemar, who lived outside of Abidjan in the late 1950s and early 1960s. He toured the country collecting, among other things, hundreds of pulleys. Figurative pulleys were then fairly common among the Senufo, Baule, Guro and other ethnic communities where traditional weaving was still practiced. The devices are critical elements in a West African loom, sitting roughly at eye level with the weaver. McNemar’s collection was particularly and unusually rich in these architectonic Kulango pulleys with spires, loops, and T-bars. The finial motif on this example is reminiscent of Bedu masks...
