Artistic Statement:
The above three works were created with oil paints that I kept in storage. The older ones are made with paints from 50 years ago when I was a student and 28 years ago. The sur-face is dry, but the inside has not hardened because they were made all at once. Please touch it gently. The parts not exposed to air will take even longer to harden. Also, it is surprisingly heavy. We would like you to lift the canvas if you can.
Layers of paint in random hands have created an unintended screen. It is as if the paints are walking alone in the present, transcending time.
I would be happy if viewers could expand their imagination.
