Twelve "excerpts" of a future "book" were shown as double-sided hinged objects at the Hyde Park Art Center as part of "Ground Floor," the every other year showcase of recent Chicago MFA graduates.

This exhibition has to do with abstraction and reality and seeing things both as they exists and don’t. Seeing is subject to usefulness, context, mood, scale and so many factors as to never be fixed or definite. Seeing is subjective. Eye witnesses are lousy. We see something and we forget it. We see and don’t really see. Seeing is the hardest work I know. I am humbled every day by my children whose eyes and minds are so much sharper than my own. They are teaching me. I think it’s my duty to keep working.
