Object Lesson, 21 x 14 in., charcoal, 2026

Jurors’ Statement, Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts 115th Annual Exhibition: “With remarkable technical control, this drawing elevates a minimalist geometric form into a compelling visual experience. The artist creates the uncanny sensation of an object moving at great speed while remaining perfectly defined, as though motion itself has been captured and suspended. Soft, atmospheric edges coexist with crisp geometry, creating a dynamic tension between blur and precision.” – Catherine E. Shotick & Mark Zunino
