New Batch of Pottery






I've been involved with these Anasazi designs for a while now.

I've discovered a Night, Day, Nigh,t Day cycle in them incorporating the directions of the earth and of a year, a life?

On a spinning Earth.

You can see the influence in my paintings below. I think the influence is akin to Pollock and Indian sand painting, as a performance on the ground.






It is strange how they are mainly seen as regional tourist items. To me they are elemental and as an example here are pots from the British Museum.

The whole She--bang

Yes I'm thinking about some big apocalyptic painting with everything in it at ONCE!

From 1985, and 2008

This large painting is from 1985, and two others from 2008.



Rethinking Madrid Paintings

Just thinking about painting further here?



I turned this painting on it's end and like it better although think I should keep painting now?
