I first encountered the art
of Antoni Tàpies in 1983, while an art student in Berkeley, California.
I felt an inexplicable
sense of proximity to the beautiful language that deemed Tàpies's works somehow
inevitable.
Since that time, although
my own art has a closer tie to industrial materials than the earthen matter of
Tàpies, I have often wished for it to share the quality of suspended stillness
that his great works exude.
