Experimental 2017 |
Media/Method: Mixed Media Painting
Size: Various Price: NFS The piece in this run are grounded in pushing the boundaries of using detritus and remnants to a level of museum quality. Some of the basic materials to construct the series are mailed envelopes, fabric remnants, and paper scraps. Lately I am more careful to focus on a zero waste concept in the studio. I reclaim and repurpose as much as I can in various works. The challenge to zero waste is ever present as an emerging and impoverished artist. Using a professional grade of materials may not be wise for now. I look forward to the day that discussions of conservation and preservation begin discussions of commission and hire. |
Untitled 2017
Media/Method: Satin stitching and free motion quilting on prepared paper colored with acrylic paint
Dimensions: 12" x 12"
Price: NFS
Statement: Becoming fascinated with a wandering stitch, I first decided to experiment on prepared papers with forms created out of acrylic paint. Finishing off with colored thread created forms that were not seen before in the flat color.

Metamorphosis
Media/Method: Paper Collage enhanced with walnut ink and/or Sumi Ink
Dimensions: 12"W x 18"H Price: POR Statement: Metamorphoses began as a quiet challenge from anonymous admirers. I was given charge to create mockups for a large scale collage series. The qualifications were to include animals and Native American designs. I took the liberty of not collecting more than what I had in the studio. Between that and being nose deep in Ovid's Metamorphoses, I innocently took more liberties that threw me off the mark of the assignment. In that time period, I found an example of what the commission may need to look like. Now, to address the request directly, the next attempt at the request concentrates completely on animals and designs sourced from research. |
October 2019Media/Method: Sumi Ink, Tempera, and Gouache on Crescent Board
Board Dimensions:20" H x 15" W Price: NFS Statement: This experiment is in preparation for painting a series based on the mixed media collage series named Hubris. What you will find in the selection of ten is an earnest approach to the problem of rendering abstract versus attempting a glorified approach to botanical illustration. Superimposing objects such as bones and animals make for a shift in common realities to the point of suggesting shamanistic influences. In the next approach, I will be making a commitment to evolving talisman and sign to drive a cohesive theme. |
Spindle & FallMedia/Method: Mixed Media Collage on Paper
Dimensions: 5"H x 18"W Price: NFS Statement: The experiment is an attempt to engender a primitive dialogue between fabric and paper that seamlessly integrates based on line and edges instead of color blocking. Making line out of forming edges and taking a serious attack at sewing, quilting, binding, and embellishment speaks to calligraphy and making the artist's mark. Here the artist is still apparent versus being a polished form echoing machinery. Thirty pieces make up the oveure. |
