History is written by those in power. Visual marks assert influence in veiled ways – a form of record keeping. I am passionate about my relations, especially my grandsons. I work to respond to them as gifts rather than givens. The human condition is contained but it also has an expansive quality that suggests continuance. "The idea of continuance through generations does not feel like recompense for the loss of simple sensual moments... or not." James D. Cardin
