*The painting, The Plant, takes as its subject, the Carbon Plant in Morganton North Carolina. The Carbon Plant is a factory that makes Carbon Electrodes and various graphite products. This painting has personal significance in that my father worked there for 43 years. It is the first of a series of many paintings completed from 2005 through 2018 that take as their subject industrial structures. Its is a seminal work in that it is the first factory painting and that it is one of several works created in 2005 and 2006 that begin to explore the formal problems of pictorial space in painting.
