” … Improvising during the painting, image-transfer processes and collaging of materials while chasing an idea at hand creates adventure in the studio where thoughts are made visible.”

Randomness

discretion
accepts chance
as if nothing else matters

tasting the sweetness of old age
asymmetrical in memory fragments
scatter like tea dust

in the moment
an alliance is brokered
silent
absorbed
austere
elegant

moving among the stepping stones
the path is concealed
displaying only a creative shorthand
