RECENT WORK
Some photos have a lot of commentary, some don’t. For some
pieces , the story is the essence of the work, so I’ve included
comments. For other works, I think it is better to let you make
the discovery of connections for yourself without a lot of prejudice
from my thoughts. It's the belief of the Baule people of Africa
that too much clarity can hinder understanding.

Things that endure, things that last, ancient voices that speak to
our hearts in modern times; these are the things that give us
comfort and courage.  Temples and towers that point to a higher
plane. Religious objects that have an aura of sacredness.
Household items that glow with a patina of lifelong loving use.
The distinction blurs, and their story becomes our story.
