In the Park at 5pm

24x18x1.5”, Spray Paint, Oil, oil crayon, sculpture, Plastic on Wood.

I have filled my notebooks with sketches of New Yorkers enjoying parks and idleness during the Pandemic. I have sat among them and watched their joy at feeling somewhat normal in picnic like settings.

Conceptually I see them as empty when they arrive, devoid of all color, hence the white. It gives the term 'soaking up the rays' new meaning.

I have always played with sculptural additions to my work. I have used bronze, resin, encaustics and now plastic. The entire process is much quicker now with new materials that I can easily form, mold and cast in my studio. I love that flexibility.
