| Computer tapes are on this painting. At another time, all the statistics of every living matter in the forest were on computer tapes. Sticks and oil represents the forest, fur animals, birds. Different colors for the changing of the seasons. |

|
| Two couples expanded and having a great time on a boat. Drinking, a discussion, breathing in the clean air. The snow covered mountains could be in Alaska, maybe the meltdown of the mountains represents the meltdown of the two couples. |

The Mannequin
1976 |
)
|
| In the early 1970's, I use to look and sketch the mannequins in the windows of the department stores on Fifth Avenue. This was to get the look and feel of the mannequins. "The Mannequin" exhibited at the Collectors Gallery 1979. |
|
Beginning of Expansionism
1971 |
)
|
| From the early 1970's I developed my own style that I called Expansionism--everything I sense I expand (that certain something, hunch, instinct, thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs). The inner dynamics (the inner world) of the subject expand beyond its outward appearance, and into the environment (divine matrix, the field, nature's mind, mind of god, quantum hologram). Two places science got it wrong.
1. The space we believe is empty is really not. It is full of a living material, pulsating essence.
2. We may experience inside of our bodies that influence the world beyond through the conduit in this space.
