Living in a Square Wavelength
An Origin Chronicle

As the dust settled from my hasty departure from the hive that had briefly taken form in Cleveland, I felt a quiet clarity arise—a signal from the marrow of my being pointing true south. Texas. First order of alchemy: establish a sanctum. A space where thought becomes form.

The great migration of my studio began. With a long-trusted alliance—Craters and Freighters, my co-navigators of precious cargo since 2002—I sent forth the bones and breath of my creative life. Every box, every drawer, every brushstroke of the past carefully packed and shipped across dimensions.

In this shifting, something sacred occurred. I gifted a cart—a workhorse of past endeavors—to my niece. Another tool chest, once dragged with grit through New York and then Cleveland, was carefully placed in storage. The studio-to-be in Texas began to awaken as the early shipments were received by the facility manager, harbingers of a new era.

The new room—a whisper of Brooklyn’s spatial memory—was modest, intimate, requiring deep tending. March 2023. I arrived amidst a chorus of arriving crates and boxes. With patience, I assembled the tool chests, creating order from the initial chaos. Ceiling tiles were renewed, walls repainted, and masonite flooring laid down to elevate the foundation. My time was short, and the work incomplete—but the spirit of the space had been invoked.

By May, I returned with purposeful momentum. An electrician—scheduled precisely to coincide with my landing—worked alongside me to install overhead lighting. I mended the AC drain, replaced damaged flooring, and bathed the studio in a deep, meditative clean.

Traditionally, I would linger weeks in my newly set up space, slowly harmonizing with it—sitting, sensing, dreaming. But this time, I was called to move with urgency, to birth the vision in motion.

And so, on the final day of that May pilgrimage, in a studio still scenting of fresh paint and perseverance, Living in a Square Wavelength emerged—conjured not from stillness, but from the dynamic pulse of becoming.


Collectors note
This piece marks a pivotal moment in the artist’s creative timeline—a threshold crossed during a studio migration from Cleveland to Texas. Forged in the liminal space between departure and arrival, Living in a Square Wavelength is both artifact and invocation. It stands as a beacon of persistence, reinvention, and creative continuity. Constructed in a newly reimagined studio space—amidst shipping crates, tool chests, fresh ceiling tiles, and masonite flooring—it captures the essence of a life reframed in motion.

Collectors of this painting hold more than an image—they hold a timestamp of transition, a frequency of form that echoes the sacred geometry of starting again. This is a visual relic of devotion to craft, claiming its square of time and space in the ever-expanding creative continuum. See less
