Slow Horses, 2025-PResent
After visiting London, I remembered why I wanted to be an artist. I began copies of details of classical paintings. These cropped selections have lost any connection to context, meaning, or original size.
Later, I realized that they are driven by strong feelings about current news. More to come.
