The title, None of the Above, implies choices. You had choices, on your test, in life, in art, and you chose, not the first three or ten, but the last. None of the above. Or maybe the last is, All of the Above.

In my art I choose some of the above. Not one, not all. It's a flowing process that swings from the conceptual cerebral photograph processes to found objects to pure abstract color painting on canvas. Certainly color is part of all of this, one denominator, one of the above, and paint or paintlike substances, things that dry, and various objects, and process. Nothing happens without a process in time and space, even a blank sheet of paper nailed to a wall.

I'm not saying anything about what is art. That is your opinion, however that turns out. I try to make things that are interesting, beautiful, good in some sense, maybe something else. Something that you and I will like, that you will want. If I like it, or love it, what are the chances that you will?
