About Artist:
Amsterdam is my favorite city. Its handsome buildings and canals look like the past. Its street life looks like the future. Multiple cultures, multiple tastes meet and mingle. People enjoy walking. And the arts! A five-minute boat ride down the Amstel will take you past more museums, galleries, studios, concert halls, theaters, cinemas...than you could sample in a year. I know. I've tried.
About Artwork:
My three digital diptychs, Stone Circle, Holy Cove, and Wide Bridge, fit together as a series. Connections among them go beyond their forty triangles. Each "landscape" shows a place of singular importance to me: a circle of stones in a Minnesota arboretum, a quiet cove on Puget Sound, a bridge in central Amsterdam. Each "response" contains similar formal elements - abstractions from Minoan motifs; old family photos - as well as similar color and design choices.
After completing the series, I looked back at each diptych and discovered a theme (not quite a subject, not exactly a mood, more a state of mind). I now believe that Stone Circle has to do with wonder, Holy Cove with reverence, and Wide Bridge with joy. Are these themes visible to you?

Please click on the image to see it full-screen.
Stone Circle, Holy Cove, and Wide Bridge are new works, never exhibited. Their price is based not on presumed value but on labor.
Each diptych will ship in a sturdy mailing tube, as two high-quality, semi-gloss digital inkjet prints, each 36" by 36" (or smaller, if you prefer). Both sheets will be numbered and signed en verso - one with my name, one with my monogram.
Buyers are encouraged to choose their own format for framing and display, e.g. fine art foam board; narrow (black) metal frames; a wooden, hinged, free-standing, diptych frame.
