"I think that art can be called upon to light up our situation. I heard the visionary director Peter Brooke give a talk the other night here in New York City. He was speaking of the small but significant effect art has on the world. He likened art to when the black out engulfed the Northeast that summer. He said if a one person held up a tiny match, it could be enough to help someone find the keys they had dropped in the street, and perhaps find their way home. That one match has a powerful effect for that one person. And even if art cannot light up a whole city or the whole country, it might help one person find home. I think of my work as a small moment of fire. Maybe it can be an inspiration, help someone cope or smile or continue on their journey."

I just couldn't wait for the fluorescent pigments! I was playing with the sa paper and had one hanging on my viewing wall and well, I had a brush in my hand. So here's the inception of the jelly scribbles which are the precursors for the large paintings on copper and aluminum. Creative sparks flying today!
