| When
I was much younger, I had the naive notion that life would become
less complicated as I grew older. Now that I am in my sixties, my
life is just as complicated as before, but in different ways. The
surfaces I design are a metaphor for my need to find a balance between
my creative time and my marriage and my friendships. Chaos appears
to reign on the surfaces' many layers. However, when viewed from
a distance, the chaos becomes, like my life, a rich and bountiful
landscape.
