AFERT 199 and AFTER 213:

“After 199” and “After 213” are part of on- going work that is intended to be a simple expression of thoughts that originate from observation of immediate visual surroundings. The underlying premise is that the Picture is a unique mediator between the viewer and the material world because of its dual nature: it is itself a material object, but one born of - and living within - thoughts of the viewer. These paintings were completed with the support of a fellowship from the Alabama State Council on the Arts, along with research grants from the College of Architecture, Design, and Construction, and the Office of the The Vice President for Research at Auburn.
