Several months ago while in Chicago and visiting the Art Institute, I was struck once again by the lyrical paintings of Brice Marsden. This is a close up of one. Marsens' work has always been equally mysteriously simple and compelling to me. Recently I began, or rather returned to, a series of woven line drawings and prints that have a hint of Marsden. It wasn't until I looked back over photos taken on the Chicago trip that I realized where some of my ideas may have begun to germinate. Influences often exert themselves in mysterious ways.
