My latest paintings have been described as a hybrid of
hard edge and fluid abstract expressionism. I call them "rippings"
because they're ripped into strips after completion and then reassembled
into brand new configurations.
Some are reattached to their original stretcher frames while others are
attached to wooden bars and hung on the wall at a level where the ends
don't touch the floor. This concept had its origins in the 1970s, soon
after graduation from art school and a move to San Francisco. At that
time, artist friend Lynn Hershman, writing for Artweek, dubbed
me "Jack the Ripper." .......................Jack

"I've been transferring older paintings and other art works to DVDs that were originally recorded on slides (remember them?) and came across this painting titled VENICE that I had forgotten about. It was done while I had my studio at Angels Gate Cultural Center and was traded to another artist there. It was painted in 1992 and measures 30" by 40". The collaged elements at the top include vinyl floor tiles and ceramic shards."
