Haven't written for a while; but recent family tragedies and the normal difficulties of life have reminded me of the importance of living in the present, and the joy in being able to pour oneself into the act of creation. I found after September 11 that I tried to literally put my feelings into a painting; the result was banal. More helpful, I think, is to work with the medium than impose an emotion on it. My recent body of work that plays with scientific concepts is often dark, but I don't think depressing.
