Back To The Head is in reference to a term used in jazz and the approach I have taken for this exhibit. In music, the head is the first and last chorus of a tune.

For me, getting a place to show and having the exhibition/

Leaving time and space between to improvise/

The making, the playing, the meat/

Going off, getting out there and letting it out/

Improvisation is a spontaneous act of creating/

An experimental process/

Often a repeating cycle/

Continuous/

Circular/

A place for the inconspicuous to gather/

And share unlikely likenesses/

Where ideas go to manifest/

Gracious for having a place to play/

Whether in the studio/

A gallery/

Or my mind/

I nod/

And we are Back To The Head/
