Label from Clark Gallery, Lincoln Mass verso. Unframed. From the artist's website: I have always been fundamentally attracted to line and value and how the variation of one will affect the other. I use a multitude of lines to describe form, to emulate light and shadow. Though I my experiment with other techniques and media, I always come back to this form of drawing. It provides for me a fresh way of viewing the world along with challenges to overcome. From woodcut to scratchboard to pen and ink to engraving, the use of line tells a story. It communicates a feeling between the image and viewer, and when successful, there is nothing more satisfying or magical 6 5/8 x 7 1/2 inches paper; 14.5 x 16.75 inches. Private collection, Boston.
