All your work has such startling beauty, intelligence, and insightfulness. Much of it is knife-edge, lustrous, or both. Then there is a piece like this one here, whose edges are fibrous instead of sharp; whose tonal transitions are progessive instead of abrupt and absolute. There is a fascinating dramatic question in your work: what is literal and what is conjured? The question, though, is moot in the sense that once something literal is depicted as art, it becomes an artifice - the artificial gaining in visual, psychological, and aesthetic significance over that upon which it is based.

Thank you very much. I'm really flattered by your comment.
I completely agree that once something is depicted as art, it is no longer literal. The literal is left behind in the process of creating. You can't create without conjuring, just as you can't spell "artifice" without "art".
