"During my forty-year artistic career, I have been concerned with the greater cycles of history with a critical eye towards the social, political, and emotional complexities of the human condition.
The large drawing, "Can We Know the Sound of Forgiveness", and this exhibition continue to explore these themes and the borders surrounding chaos, desperation, and ultimately forgiveness." —James Drake
"Can We Know the Sound of Forgiveness" is based on James Drake's poem of the same title.
“Put us to the question
Can we learn from Bach
Can we know the sound of forgiveness
Baroque tables of witness
Grow in the wilderness
Rooted in gilded illusion”
