Road Kill
In 1984, while walking to work, I saw a flattened piece of
flex-tube on the street and realized that in a way it was inorganic road kill. Got a panel of pressed board, painted
it like pavement, glued down the tube corpse and rolled a friend's spare tire with red paint over it to make it more expressive.
Two decades later, in March 2004, while riding my bike to
work, I came across another inorganic road kill, a flattened paint can with, of all colors, red paint splattered out of it.
Couldn't have created it better.

| burnished, reduction fired ceramic |
This little ceramic sculputure, about four inches tall was
inspired by a carved wooden figure I saw in the New Orleans Museum of Art during a Dogon exhibit.
It is not glazed but the surface was burnished by rubbing with a silver spoon.
The color is carbon from reduction firing in a five gallon bucket of sawdust.

| Model Gena 1986 |
This was one of my better life drawing efforts from a recreational
class at Miami-Dade Community College in 1986. It was this older model that convinced me that I could pose for art classes,
starting my introduction to several local South Florida artists.
