Decisions, Decisions…
One of the things I’ve been wondering about lately is how we make decisions. Actually, one of the big questions for me is how we decide what we’re going to believe, but that’s way too big for me to take up here. The much smaller, but still very interesting, question I’ve been thinking…

Water Collages
So, here we are, quite in the Throes of Summer, and my plans for hanging out in the ‘outdoor section of my studio’ and working on more of the Water Paintings have been thwarted by a. computer problems; b. developing a project for the ‘2015 Bodrum Biennial’; c. doing menial labour to raise funds in re:…

QuickPost
So it seems I have not been in the studio much this month… I thought, and thought, and thought – but could not figure out where the time has gone! Apparently, I have only made 2 collages this entire month!!!! So, here is one of them… (Yes, it’s fuzzy – but I am working with…

The Little Book of Dirt
From “the psudo-science microbiology” comes… “The Little Book of Dirt” or, why we all need to remember to wash our hands, and perhaps not head for that box of poison to get rid of those pesky little varmints in our garden, especially when (we read that) coca-cola will do the trick… The end.
