A Certain Slant of Light II – 24×34″ Oil and Charcoal on Mylar. Named after an Emily Dickinson poem. ?
Recently my work has been focusing on the figure and processes of entropy – the slow disintigration, chance, ‘the bigness and smallness of things’, like sandstone being weathered by the elements. Each new piece has this in mind.?

There’s a Certain Slant of light, (320)?
BY EMILY DICKINSON?
?
There’s a certain Slant of light,?
Winter Afternoons ??
That oppresses, like the Heft?
Of Cathedral Tunes ??
?
Heavenly Hurt, it gives us ??
We can find no scar,?
But internal difference ??
Where the Meanings, are ??
?
None may teach it ? Any ??
‘Tis the seal Despair ??
An imperial affliction?
Sent us of the Air ??
?
When it comes, the Landscape listens ??
Shadows ? hold their breath ??
When it goes, ’tis like the Distance?
On the look of Death ??
