thanks again to all for your support. The larger pieces are all from a couple years ago, the smaller works ongoing from the past 2 years. The items in the drawing installation include brand new works on paper and canvas, drawings, studio scraps, and important pieces of writing—some extending back almost a decade.

*Definition of intuition: from a Williams Alumni Magazine.
Mike Glier '75, Studio Art
Being creative in the studio requires a kind of mental state that is sometimes referred to as right-brain thinking. Some call it intuition, but I don’t like that word because it makes it sound as if a creative state of mind is mysterious, as if it’s sent to you from above. That’s total baloney. Being creative in the studio is an intellectual process that’s not verbal. It’s a very synthetic process wherein your brain is constantly comparing your sensory awareness of the moment to your memory of similar moments in the past. It’s not a verbal comparison; it’s happening at a nonverbal level. And you’re able to react to the problem of the moment very spontaneously, without a verbal engagement. Then later, you go back to language. You switch back to the left brain and do a critical analysis of what you’ve done.
