Abstract

The art in this catalog represents an important purpose in life: the pursuit of knowledge relating to My Source and to myself. My purpose, therefore, is to produce an art that reflects qualities both universal and personal, and reflects these by harmonizing a particular idealism with honest expressions of progressive selfhood. Universal symbols (archetypes) such as stars rock formations, fog, fences, worn blankets and crosses, evoke meanings for all. Their kinship in memory and imagination grows and multiplies when these signs "rub" against my own inventory of the facts of life.
