Painted on a summer evening at Seattle's Gasworks Park. The complex superstructures on the tanks and pipes create great shadows. The rusting edifices remind me how much our ideas about energy may change as they age.
Pierre de Vries: "There’s something really interesting going on with the gasworks series. The compositions are getting more complex, and there’s a looseness in the handling which is really fascinating; some passages are beginning to verge on abstraction. Great stuff."
