new work

I'm working on incorporating the figure into a more abstract setting. Why? I'm beginning to understand acrylic paint....and to enjoy it layered and rubbed out and scratched into. The setting then becomes even more mysterious and provocative, still pointing to a story and a meaning, but more layers of movement and obscured narrative. (an interesting parallel to my spiritual journey; fitting less and less into hard-edged boxes, making room for mystery and discovery and freedom.) I'm not sure any of these are finished, but I'm excited to get something up beyond the mirrors and stools.
