January 30, 2021
In future, perhaps, 2020-2021 may be overlaid with a thin wash of nostalgia; remembered as years when we cleaned out our closets and desk drawers to fill time–and discovered memories, bits and pieces of our past lives…
What follows are a few experimental abstracts, painted in black ink, not with brushes, but with found objects from the right hand drawer of the desk in my studio. Each is labeled as to it’s origin.
1/4 inch rubber band
Greek Coin, from a 1992 vacation trip
Scrunched Scotch Tape
Glass Dreidel, It was Sidney’s desk, after all…
Cardboard Roll from Masking Tape
2″ square plastic box lid from kneaded art eraser, & toothpick
