I acquire my art along the tracks, empty lots, abandoned buildings and alleys. It waits in thrift stores, junkyards and along the lines of trash in front of homes on pick-up day. I find it at my doorstep abandoned like a baby in a basket. It is given to me by my fellow artists and friends.
"All My Hungry Ghosts II", 1996
Mixed Assemblage, 12"x12"x38"
All these pieces of art. All these pieces of me. They return to me like prodigals showing me how beautiful they really are.I had denied them, pushed them away and made demons of them.
But no more.

"Blind Dog", 1996
Found Objects Worded, 12"x30"x24"

Here in the solitude of my studio they join themselves together to show me who I am. Assembled, drawn, painted. The bitter and the sweet. The loving and joyful. The mad and sad, fearful and forgotten. They all longed to return and I accept them. They never really were demons, you know. I just made that all up.
