Somewhere between Jack Goldstein and Lita Albuquerque these paintings lie.  Unfortunately, I can't tell what they are pushing forward.  If they were to be considered in pairs/groups, I could think about a departure in time, but this wasn't the case.  Each were to be thought about individually.  On their own, they are too slight, thought it's hard not to be seduced by the effect of paint on black as light event.
