“No matter what type of childhood you have, there’s a feeling that you’re sensing more than what you’re seeing in front of you. That’s one of the things I remember from being young. A lot of information comes to us, not in the form of words or pictures, it’s a feeling in the air . . . something as simple as a tree doesn’t make sense . . . you haven’t got a handle on the rules yet when you’re a child. We think we understand the rules when we become adults, but what we’ve really experienced is a narrowing of the imagination.”

A retrospective of paintings, drawings, mixed media and early short films. Up through January 11, 2015.
