I received an email from a gentleman whose wife had purchased this piece from Clark Gallery in Lincoln MA. He had also seen some of my early work at Tufts New England Medical Center. This is one of the first group of large scale monoprints that I made in the early eighties. In terms of my development as an artist, it is not too much to say that without the support and vision of Meredyth Moses my work could not have continued or matured. The people who support emerging artists can see the trajectory, the momentum of an artist's energy and vision, sharing the hope of seeing the work through to its fruition. An artist can not work forever in a vacuum. Regardless of whether art is ever acknowledged by the public or the art pundits, it was made to communicate something. To make manifest an idea that could be expressed in no other way. Without some connection ideas float into the void, without the touch of being known, madness.
