Developing a body of work.

    Like most artists, I like to work in series and take one element (technique, subject, material...) and string the similaity through a collection of work. Sometimes they develope so well that they become full fledge bodies of work and perhaps find venues to exhibit for solo shows ( "Darkroom Dancing", "Twist of Fate", "Person, Place, Thing") More often they end up a good challenge or lesson and never show together as a group. These two still life pieces "Mask on red" (one of  3 drawings from this set up ) and  "Shell under glass" are 2 out of 7 drawings that formulate the combat of black charcoal and white chalk against red paper.
