Artist's Statement

"Most of my work doesn't look like anything in the world outside my own head.   Someone said it is "self-referential."   I sit alone and listen to music, usually "The Art of the Fugue" by Bach or the Day of the Hunt" by Mozart.    I made a mark on the paper...then another...and then another each one building on the next little units.    I never know where these units are going.   I just let the building happen while the music plays.    I know when it's finished because I look at it and there aren't any more marks to make."

Franco is a former student of the Chicago Art Institute and University of Illinois.
