Laura Owens

Wednesday, March 24th, 2010

What strikes me most about Laura Owen’s paint­ings is the dual­ity between real and imag­i­nary.

Pia Fries

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

The paint­ings of Pia Fries intim­i­date and excite me. Her work par­al­lels my own though hers has the matu­rity and con­fi­dence of an estab­lished painter, qual­i­ties that I work toward every­day in my own paint­ings.

Stuck. Draw.

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010
At the stu­dio and I am stuck on this paint­ing. Sit­ting here, star­ing at it, pon­der­ing where to go next, I saw threads in the drips. I walked over to my table of thread and began to drape them on the wall, draw­ing as I would if I were painting…
