Earth, centered on the Americas, pocked with red
triangular and mushroom-shaped growths as depicted on images
of SARS-CoV-2.

Pandemic (2020)

This is my reaction to COVID-19. I originally intended to add a face mask over the image, but when a quick web search turned up dozens of images of the planet wearing a mask, I decided against it.

Silhouettes of four women use mobile phones as they walk
in different directions across a rectangular, flat brown
base. Between them, the silhouette of a man stands with
hands in pockets.

Piazza Giacometti 2021 (2021)

Inspired by Alberto Giacometti's Piazza (c1948).

A simulated window with a rectangular painted wood frame
that divides the view of an Asian tea house into segments.
The outer segments simulate red stained glass, while the
inner segment simulates frosted glass with an etched pattern
of red bamboo leaves.

Window (2020)

Inspired by a real window in the Chinese Garden of Friendship in Sydney, using a photo of the tea house in the Isamu Taniguchi Japanese Garden at Zilker Botanical Gardens in Austin.

A grid of thick gray lines on the right, with pale yellow
and dark blue rectangles between them. A field of dark blue
on the left, with pale yellow, four-pointed star shapes
scattered across the top half.

Nyadbi (2020)

Inspired by Starry night in Jimbirla country, but with a decidedly more urban feel.

Australia depicted using punched-out paper dots arranged
in concentric rings of red, orange and yellow, surrounded by
rings of blue and gray dots representing the ocean.
Aboriginal dreamtime symbols representing a journey from
Melbourne to Uluru to Cairns to Sydney.

Dreamtime (2021)

Thousands of punched-hole tabs were glued to a background to create this representation of my travels in Australia, accurately using Aboriginal symbols to depict the journey.

Orange Grass (2000)

Under the psuedonym "Rev" Andrews, I submitted this photo to a contest in the short-lived new music magazine Revolution (not to be confused with the current periodical for timepiece aficionados!). It was selected as one of four runners-up; I have always suspected that only five entries were submitted and they wanted to ackowledge all of them!
