recalling the Origins
Glyphars: constructions made with wood fragments found in the streets, construction sites, studio floors: with glue, thread, paint
Glyffiti: images drawn on top of graffiti and torn posters in the streets: poster paint or gesso. I draw mostly animals in recollection of the earliest visual comunications we have: the glyphic scratchings and paintings on desert rocks and in mountain caves.
My approach is instinctive. I draw in the streets because the graffiti strewn surfaces are my cave walls. Often I feel that the Ancestors are speaking though me, recalling into the modern age the source of all our visual languages.
Contact with the deep Past expands our understanding of our inheritance and its potential.
