Acknowledgements
An exhibition is really a collaborative effort and many are responsible
for mine.
Heartfelt thanks are due to Ivan and Ethan Karp of the
OK Harris Gallery who believed in my vision and have shown my work
for years. Thanks to Dr. Louis A. Zona for his kind invitation to present
this exhibition, and to all the helpful staff of The Butler Institute of
American Art for making this project such a pleasure. My gratitude to
Marijo Dougherty for her devoted curatorial and coordination efforts,
to Gary Gold for his terrific photography, to Zheng Hu for a fine catalog
design, to Lilly Wei for her thoughtful essay on my work. Special
thanks are also due to the University of Chicago Press for permission to
reproduce text from the book Art From Start To Finish, and to Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, the university where I teach, for its long-term support
of my creative work.
Finally, and most importantly, a great big thank you to my wife,
Lisa, without whose encouragement, understanding and forbearance
Object/Shadow would not exist, and to my sons, Moses and Eli, who
gave up so much quality time with me when they were younger so that
I could pursue my dream.
