life well may be long

the new series of paintings is up for the looking. and, as you are moved, for the collecting. Cloudy fields erupt from orderly and disorderly color, and repeated, elementary gestures like circles, squares, and lines, guide the wandering and the being home. (excerpt from an essay i recently wrote about this new work...)

life may well be long, and passing yonder still
