    • TRIPLETS

    For a December, 2015, exhibition at Jordan Faye Contemporary gallery in Baltimore I grouped UP IN ARMS paintings in rather random groups of three that I called triplets.   This was done to see how certain juxtapositions created psychological associations.  It was as if the combinations appeared by chance in the windows of a slot machine.

    • SCALES

    I was thinking of this grouping as predators, but on second thought they have a more primitive commonality. They're all cold blooded and have scales.

      SCALES presents critters that share a like-mindedness: unapologic predation. This arrangement had a paper measurement of about 9' x 6'.
