At the age of 65 I am beginning to fully understand the nature of my work.

When asked to describe it, my response, as a young artist, was longwinded,
convoluted and I think  tedious and boring.  Now I reply that it is a
combination of Shaker furniture and Haiku poetry in that it gives one the
sense that there is a real reason for it's presence and that there is always
an undercurrent of narrative. 

Recently I have come to understand that the main difference (other than stylistic)
between my work and most of what I see is the nature of time found in it. 

It seems that the majority of work I have seen is imbued with the past tense and
sometimes with only the present. (a feeling of NOW!).  I have come to believe that
my work incorporates the past, the present and the continuation of time.  A sense of looking towards the future.
