Catalogue Note

...the Butterfly Paintings.That's where my current interest lies. Perhaps some of the other work is not hard-edged and is closer to what would traditionally be considered expressive, but I'm not sure that it is literally more expressive... I think that way of working fits the thing I am making. The form follows function.
