1977 - Wavy Square All Twisted and Buried Amid Stones

Wavy squares are like T-Squares that engineers used except they look rubbery and floppy. Imagine a giant wavy square all twisted and partly buried amid six-man- sized stones. As a boy, I recall building bridges and dams across creeks by finding the biggest stones I could carry and throw them in. I remembered those bridges and thought how a great wavy square would look if a giant threw huge boulders on it. The sands of time would cover all but the tops of the wavy square and boulders. This is a relief, woodblock monotype print in black, orange, gray, and blue on buff-colored paper. I printed watercolors on Asian and Dutch VGZ paper. The image is 15" x 7 3/4". It is from group six of 11 variable editions of about 10 prints each, all on the same composition.

Story of the Absent Professor

Background for an on-line art education digital-game based learning experiment

"I have told the story of the absent professor several times until I’m beginning to believe it’s the story behind my game, Emeralda: Stamps ‘N Stories. It’s about a teacher who never comes to class and how the students are better off because he planned it."
