FAVORITE ARTISTS

I don’t have favorite artists. I prefer certain periods like anyone else, but pretty much love good craftsmanship in any of them. I have a very clear want of line, so I prefer ink, etching and mezzotints. I have generally purchased small sculpture when possible. If I could own and live with anything substantive it would be a Rothko, or one of Bruegel’s peasant celebrations. If I could collect anything it would be life size portraits of nobility over the centuries – it would be like living with them. The contemporary work I like most is either quite technical and illustrative or the monumental portraits and portrait sculpture. I dislike photorealism (projectors) and mass market abstract and mixed media (intensely). For my own, I have generally preferred many small pieces to large pieces so a home or office has variety rather than to invest in a single. I personally worked on nudes and prefer the human form, the human form as landscape, and landscape. If I worked today I would do ‘wall sculpture’ using large numbers of woven human forms. I have drawn out and planned to create monumental theatrical dioramas. In my next place I will use a large vertical monitor to just rotate through pieces randomly selected by software from the internet and rotating every minute or three.
