Early Abstract

Whether a particular piece is representational or abstract in nature, I work in a collage-like manner. The layers which result from overlapping of forms, lines, and fabrics are of particular concern to me,creating a sense of mystery and depth. The coloring and patterning of the fabric is an essential element in my attempt to achieve this goal; the uneven and serendipitous results contribute to the spontaneity and expressiveness of the work, even though the composition may be planned in advance.
