Dan Steinhilber looks at one of his works, in his 2006 solo show at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston. Trained in painting -- his wife, the painter Maggie Michael, is one of Washington's leading abstractionists -- his art has often explored that art form's legacy. Here, he's used knotted balloons to simulate a classic "action painting" of the 1950s. As the balloons deflate, some of its "action" will fade away, too.
