The cycle ends today

Feb 2023

11’’ x 14’’

Pen and ink on Arches paper

Shown in the group show Portals, at Mind’s Eye Gallery in Chicago.

This is of course largely referencing Rodin's Gate of Hell, apparently competing for the title of "first abstract sculpture". It has two different versions, and a fascinating backstory. As I am writing this, I realize that the Gate "of" Hell doesn't mean Gate "to" Hell. We might very well be escaping it.

This piece is not for sale. To inquire about an original or request a catalog of available pieces, contact me here !
