Transportation

Titles & Info

Stop & Go

Etching and Aquatint, 1996 · 13 5/8 x 9 7/8"

A dense tangle of utility poles, wires, and traffic signals fills the frame, rendered in fine etched line against soft gray aquatint tones — an urban intersection reduced to pure infrastructure.

Macadam Flower

Linoleum Cut, 2005 · 12 x 16"

A semi truck dominates the frame, its wheels and machinery rendered in bold, geometric black-and-white shapes, while a swirled remnant of shredded tire — the kind left scattered across highways — twists against a windswept sky on the right.

Bewildered (Lost)

Linoleum Cut, 2001 · 18 x 12"

A figure in slacks and a shirt holds his head as if bewildered or lost, surrounded by a tangle of overhead wires and electrical lines, directional words — East, West, North, South — and a traffic light layered into the composition, with a semi truck below.

Connections

Linoleum Cut, 1995 · 18 1/4 x 12"

A dense tangle of power lines and electrical infrastructure fills the composition — the kind of overhead network seen along roads and throughout the countryside, rendered with obsessive, intricate detail.

Coast to Coast

Silkscreen, 1990 · 19 x 19"

A truck cab in white and red sits at the center, wheels and undercarriage repeated across the frame like a stroboscopic blur of motion, beneath a dense tangle of overhead wires in bold, multicolor line — the long haul rendered as pure momentum.

World You Are So Wide

Woodcut, 1994 · 14 3/4 x 10 1/2"

A dense field of cars packed in gridlock fills the lower half, while jagged mountains rise above — nature's quiet vastness set against the noise and clutter of modern life.

Clipper

Silkscreen, 1980 · Size TBD

A three-masted clipper ship cuts through dramatic, angular waves under a stormy sky, its sails caught mid-billow — rendered in bold rust, black, and white with sharp, geometric contrast.

Sun Deck

Linoleum Cut with Color, Date TBD · Size TBD

A ship's crane rises above rows of empty deck chairs, ropes and rigging trailing down, set against a bold yellow sky — a quiet, sunlit moment of shipboard structure and stillness.

Jet Port (The Weapon)

Linoleum Cut, 2003 · 18 x 12"

A commercial jet flies overhead against a heavily textured sky, while smaller planes converge in the air above a city skyline below — the fuselages and engines rendered with intense, obsessive linework.

White Cloud

Linoleum Cut with Color, 1990 · 10 x 13 3/16"

A ship's masts and rigging rise through a swirling, dynamic composition, sails and clouds merging into abstracted, angular shapes — rendered in bold blue, black, gray, and white with strong movement and rhythm.

Guiding Light

Linoleum Cut, 2000 · 18 x 12"

Traffic signals stack and repeat throughout the composition — round lights rendered as textured barrel shapes above on black, and clustered signals below on white, as if the scene pivots around its own reflection — dense, heavily carved texture throughout.

Wrong Way

Linoleum Cut, 1996 · 7 1/4 x 10"

Highway signage overlaps and layers into a dreamlike, chaotic jumble — route shields, directional arrows, and words like West, North, South, East all crowding together — capturing the disorientation of one confusing interchange.
