ESSAYS & PAPERS
Writing extends questions first encountered through painting into encounters with art, philosophy, history, and other traditions.
These essays and papers move between poetic-philosophical reflection and focused research. Some remain close to Creation and artistic experience; others enter into dialogue with artists and thinkers, carrying the inquiry beyond the studio without leaving its originating questions behind.
