ROCK FACE

January 16, 2012.  It must have been an early impulse for humans to draw, to use simple lines to enhance what was partially visible in the cracks on a rock wall.  From cave drawings to subway drawings, working with a surface that is rough and already pocked with its own marks, the artist gives more solid lines to a vision, a recording.  I can see this square jawed, stocky man waiting for a subway.  I can connect with him and what he thinks and how he uses this thing to move around his world.  I can see myself.
