The journey towards a book: Part 1
Last year I began to put together the elements for a book
about my work and life that had been in the back of my mind for over ten years.
During that time I had repeatedly been asked by some of my collectors if I
would ever be more forthwith with my process.
So I began by assembling 8x10 photographs of my artwork by
decades without editing. This became an ever-expanding binder that then
incorporated my poems that correlated with specific pieces. Once that was laid
out I began to figure out the narrative, the threads that linger throughout my
studio experience and quickly saw that if this was to be truthful and rich it
had to have excerpts from my journals.
The other key was space: The building of my three studios
over these 40 years. So I began to collect photos all the way back to 1977 and
inserting them into the pages. The binder grew, once again.
