Con.tin.u.um (noun)

“a coherent whole characterized as a collection, sequence, or progression of values or
elements varying by minute degrees” Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary
I have always worked in series…most artists do…it is a sort of “organizing
methodology”…a way of focusing on a concept and delving deeper in to the idea.
Sometimes works are “out-of-order” meaning they flow from nowhere (or so it seems)
and get inserted, chronologically, in to the middle of a series, but that is not the usual
case. If you look at a very early work –

StickFragments#4

and then look at a piece recently completed

redSQUARErising

you may not see the connection….it can seem like a giant leap from #1 to #690. But in
actuality, each piece informs the second, then the third, then the fourth…on down
along the continuum to today. There is a dialog from one piece to the next. Sometimes
I am not even aware of it, but when looking back in retrospect, it is all there to be
revealed….one step at a time….one foot in front of the other…down the creative path to
the future.
