Saturday in the Studio
Some work in progress... all unfinished, all cell-phone pictures... nothing too serious, just a glorious work day.

installation photos
"...i know you" exhibition at Bob Schwan Studios with Trish Higgins Fine Art!
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.

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.
