Artist, American, born 1950

The image shows rows of bold, uppercase black text arranged in a uniform, linear format against a white background. The structured composition creates horizontal lines of text forming statements. The text appears to convey philosophical reflections or snippets of advice on life lessons and observations. The consistent typographic style and spacing give the composition an orderly appearance, resembling a list or manifesto where each phrase is separated but contributes to a broader narrative structure.
