The book is about my life as an artist since 1964. It contains many of the projects, media and forms I have designed, fabricated, and installed. As an artist, the expression of Life’s multiple conflicts has always affected me. These have surfaced through my work in two ways; one of beauty that denies my past and the overt realities of lives struggles and the other political-social allowing me to visualize the incongruities and veracities of our world that surround me. That of beauty is inspired by the sensual linear quality of the female nude, verbalized as follows: “line and form…line expresses that movement and rhythm of energy. Through the extension of this line form is created. My primary sculptural concerns are with what I call Linear Form, that is the integration of line with, on and in form, line as form, form as line, and the effect and interaction of line and form on each other”. This path led me to total abstraction, simply line, form, space, color and light. Work that is aesthetically pleasing, linear, surface embellished, technically perfect, work that denies my past and the overt realities of lives struggles that surrounded me. That of the political-social questions and addresses… “Why are we here? Where are we going? What have we done to get where we are?... This alternative venue is created visually through 1500 Fahrenheit kiln formed tormented images of glass, steel and braided cable. Some of glass alone and some in the form of glass American flags echoing the cry of Langston Hughes’s poem “Harlem” …” What happens to a dream deferred” …This duality continues in my work today and is now more politically relevant than ever.
