Herein begins the story of few things soft and blurry.

The (35mm) photographs are of a house in Durham, North Carolina, a place where time is/was slower, trees wider, and the air warmer.

The clay sculpture was of a falling man, caught by a begging hand; bent, crooked and imperfect, a crumpled handkerchief opening up to the sky: a transformation (a narrative sculpture).
The sculpture was soft.
It is no more.

These art explorations occurred around the time of the first figurative-abstract watercolors. Both of them represent two recurring artwork themes: the idea of using art to escape things “known,” to create a fictive world - a narrative open to interpretation - in which the imagination is encouraged to run free and explore; and anthropomorphism and/or freedom of association between apparently similar images.
