Over the past eight years—the time it has taken America to absorb the body blows of 9/11 and Katrina, launch two wars, watch its savings shrivel and its debt balloon, and elect its first black president—a team of experts has been studying the question of whether to fix the rickety old Tappan Zee Bridge or throw it out and buy a new one. The panel has finally plumped for the second option: a $16 billion juggernaut, with room for express buses and commuter rail. Hallelujah!

Sharing both planned mark-making and automatic action painting, incorporating paint, wood stain, shellac and polyurethanes, I actively challenge the line between intent and accident. The balance of traditional and non-traditional surface manipulations looks both backward to the noble traditions of wood finishing and at contemporary definitions of the pictoral plane. (72” x 79”)
