New poetry series reworking some Greek myths plus some new gripes about the state of things.
The works featured on this site were digitally cannibalized from my
earlier assemblages and collages. The originals have been photographed
and altered––subverted, brutalized, and generally treated with
disrespect––to produce new images. I have always found the element of
play to be central. At times I have used a deck of playing cards to
determine the appearance of basic themes, on another occasion,
castings of the I Ching. Most earlier assemblages grew out of trolling
through boxes of flea market findings, waiting for the dental pliers
to tell me what role they wanted in the little drama I was staging.
The digital prints are recent (2008 to the present) and allow a very
old painting student to do outrageous things with a flexibility and
flash not even dreamed of in art school.
