Collection: Drawing Distinctions
In 1970 I read a book (recommended by the Whole Earth Catalog) called Laws of Form. The first page has haunted me ever since - it was an injunction: "Draw a distinction." It's a profound concept. Among other things, it provides a construct for making something from nothing. That is, where there was homogeneity there is now difference; a this vs a that; one side vs another. Drawing the Distinction is the essence of creativity. So, these pieces draw distinctions in varying forms, exploring the idea in colors and shapes.
I think, therefore I paint. Whereof I paint, I think. And, all the while, I strive to articulate both.
