Art work in this group are selected my progression of architectural subjects going from the
fully three dimensional to a series of wall hung less obviously architectural pieces.   The
complete buildings inevitably assume a primary focus on their facades. The wall hung pieces are
derived from building sidewalls.

My order of evolution from the complete buildings was:

                                                  Complete buildings
                                                  Roof tops
                                                  Stacked block figures
                                                  Roof top faces
                                                  Side wall pieces

This evolution was not simply jumping directly one mode to the next but rather one that involved
a lot of gradual back and forth.   The final move to the wall hung - side wall derived works came
about from seeing the buildings in different attitudes in my studio. I wanted the sidewall to
take on the singular display role.

These sidewall constructions continue the process of working their surfaces with line, color,
paint, and collage found on the constructed buildings.     The sidewall surfaces are created using
various methods including sanding, scraping, gouging, spattering, drilling, and what ever else
the piece might need .    Final adjustments and revisions can go on for sometime.
