cast paper, pigment
6801 Gaylord Parkway - Interior Texas Sculpture Garden
From the artist:

"For four decades I have produced visual surface relationships. When a literal reference occurs, it isn't always intended, but happens as a result of many years of being absorbed with the land and objects of man's labor. If the work appears to have intrigue, yet a personal iconography, and if it provides a distinct physical presence, then I feel I have succeeded in establishing my visual signature."
