Context: An Overview

Context matters. The way a work of art is understood is shaped not only by what is seen, but by the ideas, histories, and places that surround it.

This section gathers a small group of projects and reflections that provide deeper insight into the influences and long-form work that inform my practice. They move across scholarship, design, conversation, and place—each offering a different vantage point on how meaning accumulates over time.

These pages are not presented as a chronology, but as points of connection. Together, they reflect an ongoing engagement with artists, ideas, and environments that have shaped how I see and work today. Visitors are invited to move through them slowly, allowing relationships and resonances to emerge naturally.

Sanyu: His Life and Complete Works in Oil
A long-term scholarly and design project that brings together research, archival study, and sustained collaboration—reflecting my engagement with art history, bookmaking, and careful looking.

The Andy Warhol Interview Session
My interview with Andy Warhol, conducted in 1985 at the moment he created a pioneering computer-generated self-portrait on an Amiga computer—an early and influential intersection of art, design, and emerging digital technology.

A Place in Vermont
A reflection on the landscape where I live and work, and where much of my painting practice takes shape. This environment unites nature and design, rustic simplicity and modern refinement, past and present, in a setting that continues to quietly inform the work.

Reflections
A series of essays and short texts that extend the thinking behind the work—on painting, books, collecting, and the lives of artists and makers who have shaped my understanding over time. These writings are not announcements or conclusions, but open-ended reflections meant to be read slowly, returning to questions of attention, practice, and meaning.
