Iowa Light

The aspect of the Iowa landscape that impacted me most was light. The winter sun never got high in the sky, long shadows changed direction but never shortened, and I had a feeling of living my whole day in the moment before dusk.

     I am interested in time based scale shifts, or gaining a sense of time travel by expanding my idea of the moment until it encapsulates all of human history, or all of earth’s history, or the universe’s. My description of this scale shift is borrowed largely from Brian Eno and the Long Now Foundation. I could also borrow the words of T.S. Eliot who spoke of a still point; or Shih-t’ao who spoke of a wholeness of spirit that goes beyond the intellectual, sensual, and emotional, “free and unafraid, into wholeness of universe.”

This fall my drawings will be included in a group show at the Fitchburg Museum in Fitchburg, MA. I will also have a solo exhibition at the Beland Gallery in Lawrence, MA. Finally, I will be participating in South End Open Studios this September as I will be moving back in to my old studio in August!

Newly installed at the Ritz in Boston

      If you happen to be visiting the Ritz in Boston be sure to check out the Phil's Hill drawing that they just installed in the lobby. Later this summer you will be able to see my drawings throughout the hotel.
      I am very excited to have my work displayed in the new Ritz location on Washington and Avery Streets. A distant relative of mine, Charles E. Lauriat (my grandfather's great great uncle), opened the bookstore known as Lauriat's Books at 385 Washington St., in 1898. It is an honor to be bringing the family name back into the neighborhood.
