My work for this exhibit combines images from mixed media paintings done over several decades with photographs of urban life, found art, graffiti, and wayward (but noble and/or notable animals) to make illuminated sculptural works. Cities, old industrial sites and found art are important parts of my work and life. I have also become more and more interested in our era's multiple and conflicting attitudes towards animals.
