Sandell often individualizes a print with painted brush strokes or primitive forms of photography, a technique in which raw light is used to trace the shadow-like image of an object upon the print's surface.   These methods are all part of what Sandell calls "third-generation abstract expressionism," the term he uses to describe his own place among American artists today.  Sandell acknowledges his debt to earlier painters and printmakers who have worked in the abstract-expressionist tradition, while distancing himself from the figurative-narrative trend that preoccupies many of his contemporaries.  Sandell says there is still much to accomplish with the primal elements of visual art -- pure form and color.  In his latest works, he masterfully uses these irreducible elements to portray the equally irreducible forces of light and energy without which there could be no stories, no figures and no landscapes.
