Oils, pastels, mixed media, and sculpture.
New York New York

The work is displayed from the most to the least recent. The objective paintings are primarily concerned with natural forms and the way they merge and emerge in space. The more abstract mixed media work done thus far deals with the way forms interact and appear to dissolve into and replace one another. The tapestry like effect that results from disintegrating layers,laid side by side, has consistently drawn my attention. I see the objective and abstract work as related- different ways of observing natural phenomena. This site is in progress; earlier examples of objective and abstract paintings are being added.

Mixed Media-Tears of Islam-Side One

Tears of Islam-Side One

Tears of Islam was created in response to the two attacks on Iraq. Side One uses photographic images that echoe well known formal elements in Islamic architechture. Upside down. Dissolving. Behind is a fibrous material such as pushes through all ruins. The piece is two sided and in a steel case, behind plexi-glass. (I would prefer glass, but have not altered it, as the plastic is safer and less expensive for shipping and handling).
