.........every attempt
Is a wholly new start, and a different kind of failure....
And so each venture
Is a new beginning......
There is only the fight to recover what has been lost
And found and lost again and again: and now,under conditions
That seem unpropitious. But perhaps neither gain nor loss.
For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.
T.S. Eliot "East Coker"
These images represent my most recent work where, using the figure of an animal as actor, I attempt to create a lush canvas full of colors that invites the viewer to ask what is happening.
