partnership with the Charlotte Street Foundation, the Focus artists will also
present their work at the La Esquina gallery in Kansas City in March
2013. The Focus
OK-KC component includes four Oklahoma artists and five Kansas City, MO artists
developing new work for the exhibitions in both Tulsa and Kansas City. Read more in this Art Focus Oklahoma magazine article about

Project Statement:
I mark time and make things by
building up layers of material. It has been a fundamental occupation of mine
for as long as I can remember. I think of my grandmothers’ rag rugs and quilts
made from scraps of old cloth. They wouldn’t have called themselves artists but
they did what artists do: transforming material and experience into new
identity and function.
I am finding out what the
correct level of finish is in each work, the whole body of work and what goes
with what.

Gary's work was among my very favorites at the Concept/OK exhibit. In principle, his approach is simple, but in execution, he delivers remarkable depth and complexity to his compositions. Thanks for sharing these artist videos - I always enjoy them.
