Radio Tower Series
Part of a series of three pieces that took a long time to build up then chisel away at. They turned into figurative shapes and were adorned with some current vocabulary I’ve pulled from my sketchbooks, namely the stick-figure radio tower that rises from inside the central black silhouette. I love radio towers and they are certainly part of the lore of my life. Hands are another vocabulary item and feature prominently here. Someday if I can show all of these works i’ll include a fun little lexicon of informative symbols, a la John Hejduck (one of my constant influences in painting, whose explorations marry theater, poetry, painting and architecture – without necessarily building something).
