The Big Picture was influenced by several art viewing experiences. The world wide web provided frames of images which would shift and offer new related or fragmented images. Sometimes the relationships were not immediately clear. Another influence was a show I participated in at The Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College . The show required that each artist fit whatever material they desired into a hanging file folder. These folders contained paintings, prints, P.R. material, CD and DVD works, and one artist simply cut up a very large painting into pieces which would fit into the folder. I was intrigued by this show and went through every folder. I was impressed by the cut up painting because it took guts to do the cutting and kept the purity of the art. It was a good painting. Both the web and the show at Bard underlined multiple points of view and glimpses through time. My work has gone through various periods that express my thirst for discovery. At this time, my need for a gathering up from these periods into a larger vision reaching toward unity brings me to the present series of works forming The Big Picture.
