1983
The 14 Stations.
Oil paintings on clear vinyl stretched over a framework of bent electical conduit. Several types of glossy enamel bonded well to the vinyl, but Varathane seemed to work the best and I liked the limited but intense palette of available colors. I trusted that the Varathane people had done the research to determine that these were the colors Americans wanted in their lives.
There were several group exhibitions in both New York and Seattle. JUMP UP JESUS was shown in a group exhibition entitled New Blood at the Gabrielle Bryers Gallery in SOHO.
ME was shown in a group show of self portraits at the Linda Farris Gallery in Seattle.
The BIG DOGFIGHT triptych was part of my first New York solo exhibition the next year in 1984.
The 14 Stations were not shown until Easter of 1985 in a special one week exhibition at Colin De Land's Vox Populi Gallery on East 6th Street in New York.
