I am sitting in the Barbados airport waiting to fly back to Dallas via Miami. The quick reflection is that the time in Barbados has been a success. The show was hung in time (complete with building the stretchers and stretching the paintings the day before).

The work in this exhibition is a rare glimpse into the transition of process, concept and form in my work. Looking for new ways of communicating complex messages has led me to an exploration of various forms and styles. This explorative and transitionary period has led me to a study of elegance.

The traditional method for stretching canvases over a stretcher or strainer is to stretch from the center out to the corners. It&#8217;s logical, it&#8217;s traditional, it&#8217;s the way things are done.
