Hello, all -

I've been in Berlin on a 2-month residency as guest artist of the Milchhof Kunstverein. They've given me a big studio and a tiny apartment, and I am painting abstracts. Full of enclosures, as so is Berlin, and sometimes, for some reason, echoing the Berlin Wall. The Milchhof is only 40 yards away from where the Wall ran. This piece, 60x22 on paper, is named after the Tiergarten, at whose West end is the famous Berlin Zoo, with cages that either keep us, or the animals, out.
