DAYS OF THE WEEK GALLERY Days of the Week The "Days of the Week" series came after the Calendar paintings. I was trying to imagine what the beginning of time might have looked like, day by day. In some of the paintings, there are areas where I also imagine early forms of mark making as the beginnings of recorded language. The oval is a form I have used repeatedly over the years. In my earliest paintings it may have represented a tabletop or an island. Later, a pond, an egg or a stone. In researching it's various symbolic meanings, the one that resonates most with me, is the one in which it speaks to the idea of potential.
