Barnacles (250.01r to 250.50r)
one by one by two
fifty recovered old books
green paper and cloth
red collared bundles
hand-cut paper triangles
three by eight by ten
white feathery points
twelve by twenty by thirty
ever larger groups
ocean crustaceans
spreading over a surface
forty to fifty
stuck to a surface
population increasing
white and red and green
From art school in Baltimore
To NYC to work at the Guggenheim
And then for a sculptor
A career as a woodworker and cabinetmaker
Finally, in 2007
Back to making art full-time
Switching from painting to book art
And then a move to Ridgefield Connecticut
A studio in the country
Making works larger than just a single book
