I began my exploration in the 1970's as an artist visiting all the frescoes in Italy.
I have always harbored the naive sentiment that-- I wish I could do that.
I love Piero and Giotto, Massacio and Mantegna. Fra Angelica and Signorelli.
I liked the chalky hard surface which makes a shallow negative and positive space of painting.
I liked how the unrestored brokened out sections lent an abstraction to the whole. Here I have taken that formal relation as a aspect of reality in ever changing moments, which art tries to preserve.
Any way I've said more of this else where, it all seems to come together.
