I had for some time been making drawings of paintings this one to that one piled up I liked the way each told something of the other.
I then started to make the studio wall the stars or night sky. It was a bit like the Black and White of earlier work. I like a line of Stevens poetry very much that " death is the mother of beauty " and this has something to do with the stars.
More it is the differing juxtapositions which reveal different things ideas.
The first group of these contained the "world " of the Madrid paintings and the "story" of what I called New Mexico sunflowers different than the farm sunflowers I painted back east.
I started to ever more see the importance of a cyclical form that now enters even my writing here.
The cycle starts with the site landscape, the enlarged studio paintings, the finding of a figure or specific idea, and the heightening of that or deepening with a square motif which has differing forms.
All this now piled up into a cycling and dream in the Night.
A new reality I look for, a new way of seeing.
I made another group after Aspen paintings and then I saw how these paintings could be set upside down and on their sides to reinforce the revolving idea.
