Writing art reviews

No good explanation for my absence here. Sometimes life just gets away from me and so things that were important start to vanish over the horizon, replaced by a meaningless busy-ness that seem unavoidable.
Continuing my love/hate relationship with writing, I have covered several reviews for BurnAway and ArtsATL in the past few months. I also interviewed Lauri Stallings for Art Papers on-line publication as she was preparing to spend the summer in Central Park with glo. And wrote a piece about a fun collaboration among painters, Triple Play at Marcia Wood. That was for  Art Papers alsoThe reviews enable me to really dig into an an artists work which I enjoy very much. Spending hours thinking about the work and researching the artists beyond a show gives me a much deeper appreciation for the artist's journey.
