A visit with an artist

Sunday is a lovely day to sit around, drink coffee, and talk about your current projects. It's especially enjoyable when you can spend that time with a fellow artist, like John Morris. I have been watching John's new body of work rapidly developing over the last couple months. The work is coming together so beautifully.

These works are incredibly detailed, speaking as much to process as to theme. The above image is linked to a rather large file, so you can get a really clear idea of the physical detail. The layers of marks and transluscencies are incredibly beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing John's new work develop.

All of the below images are from the studio visit on Sunday. All link to a larger file.





Here's a nice wall shot from the studio

MY War With Google

I am sort of engaged in an ongoing war with google. It's not google's fault or anything, they are a search engine and they pick up bits of info and link to them whether they are wrong or right.

The issue comes from the fact that I have a gallery in Pittsburgh and I want the people who used to know me or my work to know that. But, thanks to an old inaccurate bio that's on Art Net, MOMA's website; and a few other places -- people think that I live and work in Queens.

So google -- here's the facts
