From the artist:

“For more than thirty years my work has been concerned with images of industrial and urban architectural forms.  For the most part I have worked in the medium of etching/aquatint, many with watercolor washes.  I find these industrial and architectural images an endless source of variety and complexity.  These functional structures have a kind of formal inner logic comparable to constructivist sculpture.”
