Getting ready for two months in Portugal at PADA Barreiro with nine fellow artists. Thrilled and excited to address some more ambitious ideas, partly inspired by themes and processes delved I into decades ago, and partly from the location and environment of the ex-industrial area of PADA’s location. Here are a couple of paintings that I may reference in this project, Angst Body Clouds and My Hero.
