1987 THE LAIR (Buffalo train station series)

The train station series parallel structure functions like a grid somewhat.

Sense of sight is matched with the image of an eye. Architecture is used to create parallel with the picture plane. The heroic to larger, more complex abstract economic and social processes of transformation. Geographic displacement and historic repetition. The ultimate public realm, the urban metropolis.

A bleaker, more disquieting aspect of progress, the uncanny desolation of an abandoned, deserted train station.

The enclosed mobillity of time gives living experience its incision of erasure, the exigency of another reality.

Perspective is used to create what seems to be a phusable notion of reality.

These works integrate the challenges to secure and structure the need for a new language that could represent the unreal world.

I X-ray view, through it's skin to the structure within, examining the ties between architecture and the "self."

Light assumes shapes in out of focus images of things in motion, distilled in light to memory, myth and a ghostly vestige of what no longer exists.

Allegorical landscape of interiority. Fluid time echoes of the worlds largest train station, now obsolete.

Trace like a fossil the velocity of the composition’s probe of phantom nature, of matter itself. Perspective is used to create what seems to be a plausible notion of reality.

Convergent lines, address issues of ambivalence. The first work was

221. LA CITE ENGLOUTIE

( the submerged city)

222. Channel to Another Time

Examines the American experience of the War years. Funneling urban with fragmentary perspective. Amid blasted-out windows and jettisoned furniture. Lights brackets the building’s unfolding experience. “Autrefois il prenait souvent le train pour travestir son inquiétude en lassitrude “ Conformity creating the neomort (technically dead humans), touching on the corruption time wreaks, The notion of art as vehicle, The ribbon of unremarkable, semi-industrial wasteland unwinds. Nature haphazardly intruded upon by human structures and then left alone to be filled in by whatever happens to grow.
