I work with a process involving Yupo
paper, India and alcohol inks and acrylic
paint. The imagery is influenced by
encounters I have while walking
through my natural surroundings in the
high desert of New Mexico. My recent
work is informed by patterns created
from fallen branches and the decorative
designs carved into the landscape by
flowing water.
The randomness and unpredictability of
the method used in creating these
pieces parallel what I respond to in
nature.
Set against a black backdrop, a sinuous
tangle of various weighted lines and cut
out geometric shapes create a tapestry
of brushstrokes. The results are paintings
that present a world awash in
ambiguous dimension.
