Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
My work has undergone many changes over my fifty years of being an artist, but what always remains is the use of simple form and shape to convey content in a reductive, abstract fashion. In earlier periods, the work alluded to recognizable narratives, with image shapes derived from theater stages, screens, and signs.
In the last two years, I have returned to a more pared down reductive style. I brought gesture back into my vocabulary, with an interest in creating tension with boundaries, often painted in a more hard-edged style. Space recedes and expands with strong linear strokes of paint, always flashe, with its matte surface and ease of re-application. Pentimenti are now also part of what the viewer sees, leaving a history that slows down the viewing time. During this last year, I have mainly worked on paper, in order to move quickly and keep my process open to new inspiration, always trusting intuition to make decisions. I hope to eventually make some of these works on paper more permanent, possibly using mounted clayboard in large sizes.
