Artist's Statement for Fuller Arts Show - Sept 8 - Oct 24, 2007

These works come from the California deserts.  I arrange them to see how they explain themselves by contrasts in size, shape and angles.
They came from the mountains.
Some day they may be part of new mountains.
I attempt to understand by drawing them.
