Impressions

This series of linen collages on stretched canvas created with images derived from my digitally manipulated photographs of places in which I have lived or visited. They evoke the feeling of a particular place in an impressionistic style rather than a representational one, conveying a mood rather than a literal depiction. They are reflective of fleeting impressions one experiences when traveling in a moving vehicle or on a fast walk, t

Innuendos

Although all of the images that I create from my original photographs are mani[pulated in the computer before I commit them to a work, I am often conflicted about how much abstraction I want to employ. A fascination with the detail in the subject depicted vies with the the personal emotional component conveyed in the abstraction. This conflict resonates with the poem by Wallace Stevens…

“I do not know which to prefer,

The beauty of inflections

Or the beauty of innuendos, The blackbird whistling

Or just after.”
