I wrote about artist James Griffith’s Natural Selection<\/a> series here<\/a>, as he was preparing for that show, and have heard now that he’s off in a new direction for a show to be held sometime in 2014. Something to do with glass perhaps? Very intriguing. Still, I can’t quite let go of the Natural Selection series and wanted to grace the pages of the blog again with a few of those images. Must be infuriating for artists to have their audience cling to old work (“Why don’t you paint another Starry Night, dude?”)

“Now, as I paint images of contemporary nature in a medium such as tar, the image is re-framed with an awareness of this moment\u2019s ancient provenance. It underscores its place in time. The \u2018painted moment\u2019 can be seen as a brief segment in a vast fluid process we call Nature<\/em>.”
\n— James Griffith, “Natural Selection”<\/p>\n
