Influences on my art imagination include mathematics and science and nature, and the drive to communicate, describe, record. I have worked the longest time in non-representational watercolor painting, and in drawing.
\nThe project I will do in Leipzig is an Image and Interview series, with photo portraits and interviews of Leipzig people.<\/p>\n

The series includes portrait photography accompanied by a printed text, edited from an interview with the subject, using my own fixed set of questions. This work is appealing to me because I am deeply interested in people, how I see them, how they see themselves.
\nI am generating a rich impression of the person at that time, and in that context with me. I am fortunate in coming into contact with many interesting people of all sorts of life situations. I have a series of 9 portraits and interviews done in the US, and a series of 17 portraits and interviews, done in Iceland, and a group of 29, from Shetland.<\/p>\n

In this work, I am moved by a desire to know, preserve, and present, interesting human beings whom I am in contact with, in my life era. The concept for a photographic record of my contemporaries was partially inspired by the work of Felix Nadar. The interview questions were created by me.<\/p>\n

In painting, I feel comfortable and free working in watercolor because it requires me to decide and act, and does not allow me to plan and re-do. My natural \u2018logical\u2019 thinking tendency is toward complexity, thinking and re-thinking; examining, editing, perpetual refinement. In watercolor, my work process is quite different \u2013 I am forced to commit, and go ahead. In this medium, I work more freely and confidently, without the intermediation of my intention, logic, analysis, etc.<\/p>\n

Also I have made some word-paintings which include written word, surrounded by responsive painting. My word-paintings are done when my thoughts about the work going onto the paper are rushing out in words, before color, so I record the words for that work, and then paint to illustrate or support them. They are sometimes created in response to grief, tragedy, or confusion.<\/p>\n

The themes in my painting practice deal on a basic level with connection, relation, isolation, distance. The colors and forms resolve or enact forces and fitting connections. There is often a thought of composing a delicate balance between the parts of the image as they are accruing on the paper.<\/p>\n

Additionally, I do black and white small drawing constructions, primarily when I am away from the studio.<\/p>\n
