Edward Said once said of Auerbach that “even in english translation, the hallmark of Auerbach’s style is an unruffled at times even lofty and supreme calm tone conveying a combination of quiet erudition allied with an over-ridingly patient and loving confidence in his mission as a scholar…”
This beautifully expressed idea of a writing style that is thoughtful, slowly unraveled, and graceful is meaningful particularly in this age of quick answers and emails.
For my part, my projects begin by hand, staggered patterns of words -through this method I achieve a space that exists between image, musical sound & structure.
I also lend my support and writing to various collaborations with emerging artists, in addition to galleries, museums and foundations. I am currently working on a monograph on the late American painter Edward E. Boccia, as well as two contemporary art books. I continue to contribute to various peer reviewed projects.
