Thank you, Peter. Such (much) as your own work, the 'haptics' keeps unfolding - often, gratefully, surprising me in the way the pieces change from day to day, impacted by changes in paper size & stock, color and 'tooth'; the combinations of ink pens (brush to various hardpoints); changes of environment and content (for example, the ones with poets 'ascribe' the paper in a different way from a street corner). Then, of course, there is my own temperament - the intensity in which I respond to a space, the alchemy of rhythm, pressure or softness of touch, the duration of and direction of mark and/or line.
I have been cranked up & more productive of late in prep for my upcoming show.
If anyone on this list is in San Francisco after the turn of the year, here are the details:

Stephen,
The new haptics are superb, at once an early Pollack and Mark Tobey mix. The
huge one is stunning.
