A R A B E S Q U E
Currently, I am working on a series of URBAN photographs I took of two dogs in a Port Gamble, Washington boutique. As an art historian, I suppose I should have gotten more information from the boutique owner about the dogs I found lounging in wing-back chairs located almost in the middle of the store. I should have inquired, for example, about what kind of dogs they were and how old
were they and what were their names. The sort of information-gathering process you engage in when you meet a new dog. But the boutique was about to close,
and I was in a hurry. I thought the photographs of the dogs were more
important than asking those questions. I even had a mental image of the
prints I would make. In my mind I made the two lounging dogs into one
and called her ARABESQUE. Three years later, I resurrected the
photographs and began this series of prints.

But as the case may be, I archived the photographs
until I finished another dog project.
