| Collecting found objects, old printed ephemera and other of life’s artifacts has been a part of my life since childhood. What intrigues me about these relics is not only the mysteries which surround them but the evidence of past ownership in the form of random marks, nicks, specks, smudges and worn edges. They are proof of life’s existence – a presence of an absence – an indication of one’s mark by someone known or unknown to me. These recent works, entitled “Glyphs” are part of a continuing series I call “Signs & Symbols”. The word “sign” is defined as: effect, symbol, ghost, token, telltale, mark – all of these words describe the intention of the work in expressing traces and proofs of the passing of time. |
