SIGNATURE

The series title is from Kenneth Rexroth's poem, The Signature of All Things.

A moment in the poem catalyzed the group, when, in the moonlight after chopping wood that afternoon, Rexroth sees the chips scattered about in an unexpected cast, one that affirms the seamlessness of all the nature and philosophy he has absorbed throughout the day. Picking up the paint and putting it down, I wanted something of his “pale cold light that was alive,” and something of this shared signature.
