"I view any one, or group, of my works as expressing a state of mind-or more accurately, an 'angle of hearing.'

That angle is arrived at in a complex manner that includes conceptual, psychological, practical and/or extraneous consideration.

Running through my works seems to be a concert with overall line, levels of intensification (drama, humor), clarity of thought, variety and elements of the unexpected."
