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. I hope that the viewer will want to return, and will see more and different things at each viewing. 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.
