Works that explore the intersection of language and color from the solo show
"What Color Does the Letter Z Make?" at Sherrie Gallery -Apr1-May30
"It is important, for example that we are accustomed to draw with pencil, pen or the like, and that therefore the elements of our representation are strokes and points (in the sense of dots). Had human beings never drawn, but always painted (so that the concept of the contour of shapes did not play a big part), if there were a word in common use, let's call it " line" at which no one thought of a stroke, i.e. of something very thin, but always thought of only the boundary of two colours, and if the the word "point" one never thought of something tiny, but only of the intersections of two colour boundaries, then perhaps much of the development of geometry would not have occurred."

Other works:
(left) American flag made of U.S. currency stained with black tea
(middle) 2000 individual crayons stacked to produce photographic work "The Land Surveryors"
(right) Image of U.S. guard tower at Guantanamo Bay, made from 12,000 strips of shredded paper rendered entirley from the text of U.S. Constitution." I think that painting is very much like solving a complicated mathematical problem, where each step logically and necessarily follows from the previous step, finally arriving at a solution. Ideally, an elegant one."
