This site gets little use on my part.  I suppose it would be a long term goal to continue to catalog my work here.  I have done very little new work over the prior 2 years, though the few pieces I have created really seem incredible to me.  I returned about a month ago, (oct. 7, 2007) from hiking on the Appalachian Trail for the last 5 months.  My girlfriend hiked the Appalachian Trail (approx. 2200 miles) from Georgia to Maine this past spring->fall.  I joined her in Southern Virginia, until Maine, for 1550 of the miles.  It was an incredible experience, that I hope to funnel into some artwork in the new month or two.  in 5 days we will pack

So, while I may have my own stories to add to the art, I realized it is entirely limiting to include them.  Much of what we create, experience, the world, is made of words.  That said, art and music are beyond words, they are a perception of something pure, something that has not been distilled into language.  A lot is lost in that process. By writing my piece about each artwork, if the viewer reads my words, created is a linguistic framing for the perception, compressing the experience of it into a rationalization that can be grokked.  This is not the aim of my art.  This can be done on the viewer's own terms, but I hence forth will refrain
