The advice that Ross Neher gave me about taming and corralling my prodigal use of materials (“Why do you glue this sh*t to the canvas”) eventually helped me quiet my use of color. Sometimes the power of color (or truth) isn’t about how loud it is, but how carefully it is used.

The rest are also Untitled; 3′ x 3′

I also include the Thesis Statement that was part of the Exhibition
