Chairlight

The interaction of man and nature is a recurring theme of my work. I read the pattern of scrapes and scuffs on this ancient bar-room floor in Arizona as others would read a novel. Floorboards worn away by the echoing footfalls of long dead rowdies, gamblers and saloon girls. This room inspired a number of different treatments as I sat drawing and listening for ghosts.
