Beyond Recognition
I spend a lot of time in vintage salvage yards where I discover incredible visual elements that inspire me
the same way as do the great abstract painters. Hunting for this wild art; looking closely at everything; I find subjects embellished by chance and patinated by nature; subjects with an unspoken history of random events that can only be guessed or imagined.
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." - Henry David Thoreau
