  I put together a 42 page google slide show with pictures and text. It explains the evolution of my creative process since the mid 1990’s. In order to get over my inhibitions about creating it, I decided to just put things in my own words, and not let it become an exercise in professional writing. I put a lot of time into it, and I believe the process of doing the writing has brought clarity and focus. I now have a useful way to explain myself. Here’s the link- https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1QS26dm3aI_AwZg7VAoHK_qRf0SSAiTssJCkd7YfrRUs/edit Cheers

  At my day job in the Museum I some times guard access to the parking lot and the ramp that trucks use to go to the loading dock. I keep a row of traffic cones there to help me prevent the wrong vehicles from entering. Some times a truck will back its way in and accidentally crush one or two cones. The painting on the left is one of those cones, and it shows its crushed orange plastic features in bright sunlight. The smaller painting on the right is a cone that I discovered next to the trash room in my building. It appears to be standing watch, making sure all is well in the trash room.
