Nearly Perfect From Now On

Inspired by "Science, Perception and Reality" (1963) by Wilfrid Sellars and more specifically Sellars' rejection that things and meaning are "given" to us: "The Myth of the Given" and "The Myth of Jones." Also, for example, we do not have the idea that "this is a red triangle" until we have the concept through language. Series 2020 to present.

paintings

This work is predominantly about the objects themselves—whether paintings, drawings or mobiles—and less about external ideas, intentions or methods by which the objects were created. I prefer normative statements about my work, such as critical evaluations of particular qualities in the physical objects, instead of non-normative, affective terms, to describe the object or to speculate about intentions in creating the work.
