Some secrets lie hidden until a certain convergence of time and experience bring them to light. In the method astronomers use, looking into the telescope, in order to receive the clearest image of a star, the gaze must shift ever so slightly away from center. Something analogous to this happens in the practice of art-making. For me this “averted vision” has meant the interval of a day away from the studio or even the passage of several years. A great deal of studio time over the last years has been given to a re-examination of works which, at the time, seemed highly promising at their inception but which persistently avoided being brought to any satisfactory conclusion. Eventually I came to see what specific modifications were required. It was then, of course, impossible to leave these works unattended.
