The present series of polymer photo gravures started with the stolen flowers suite in 1999.  In that series I  started working as I had in the early 1980's with words in my visual artworks but this time using  images that I was initially "photographing" with my computer. The earlier texts were taken from literary works in progress and the images were usually of leaves and flowers that metaphorically became the pages for a book.

Recent works garnered from bits of video I edit from commercials, movies, and the evening news focus on the time between the big events in our lives. People who are caught up in the moment "on the way to the fire" so to speak but not the fire itself.  I am memorializing the most common moments that make up our days and by far the greater parts of our lives.

I try to define the perimeters of these passing days by the nature of their extremes. I see a paradox of opposites in life, that no matter how ironic, are dependent on one another to exist at all.
