ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"For over thirty years, I have been making a morning watercolor on 8″ × 8″ spiral bound watercolor books. These little paintings often mark the beginning concepts for a building; however, they can be formal studies, light studies, or anything that comes to mind at dawn with a cup of green tea. I start every day in the morning and paint for one hour. It has become a kind of second memory bank for me. What Louis Sullivan called “the seed-germ” is embedded in these little spontaneous concept drawing. Like the soul or initial spirit of a project, its presence at the beginning is crucial."
