Tony Phillips, Around the House, from Screen Prints 1970

Impulsive and spontaneous drawing is what initiates most of this work. Drawn gestures show me shadows of an imaginary world moving around within the presumptuous face of the paper or canvas. These may dovetail with notions that ease into prospect from casual observations, specific memory, or from reverie, and together these stirrings may ask to be realized, so I work to effect that.
