I was recently cleaning and organizing a walk-in closet on the third floor of my house, and found the above drawings, the uppermost being mixed-media and the other, purely pencil. I know they were specifically done for musical projects that never materialized, yet those musical collaborations are long forgotten. I do know that the lure of inanimate objects like sticks and stones still figures prominently in my paintings as totems of sorts, and will continue to do so. To me, they betray a silent history, and strangely enough, a kind of transformative power wrapped in a worldly hermeticism.
