Small Mysteries, 1997, a boxed set of 20 oils on gessoed rag, 11" x 7 1/2"

Another aspect of the blog is that I can show you works previously unseen.

Here is Small Mysteries from 1997. I am posting it on the Writing Page because I think of it as a book waiting for words. It is a boxed set of paper paintings which invite the viewer to page through, change the visual events as he chooses, and reshape the narrative if he wants. The images are in random order. Every now and then I’m tempted to frame them all, but I resist. I like that the box holds the story.
