I have a sign in my studio, ''you don't have to know what happens next.'' The work makes itself up as I go along in the spirit of Hiedeggar who said, ''there's what I want to think and what wants to be thought about.'' Art is difficult because it entails the suspension of what I want to do.
Abraham's Children
Created 2006 - 2008
