'blackstock's collections' by gregory l. blackstock with an introduction karen light-pina and a foreward by darold a. treffert.
modern life is an ever-accelerating barrage of people, buildings,vehicles, creatures, and things. how much can a curious mind take in? and what can it do with all the data? gregory l. blackstock, a retired seattle pot washer, draws order out of all the chaos with a pencil, a black marker, and some crayons.
blackstock is autistic and an artistic savant. he creates visual lists of everything from wasps to hats to emergency vehicles to noisemakers. in the spirit of the outsider art of henry darger and howard finster, blackstock makes art that is stirring in its profusion and detail and inspiring in its simple beauty. he has never received formal artistic training, yet his renderings clearly and beguilingly show subtle differences and similarities—enabling the viewer to see, for example, the distinctive features of a dolly varden, a pacific coast steelhead cutthroat, and fourteen other types of trout.
