2009 paintings, new to the website: click on
thumbnails above.
In earlier paintings in this series (see Gallery 1) I
created the furniture from collaged, semi-opaque
rice paper through which one can see the forest
underneath. Now, I use paint, rather than collage,
experimenting with the furniture's transparency
and its location in the forest: floating above,
embedded within, or buried below. My printmaking
has strongly influenced these new paintings. I’m
layering transparent colors with the (often
surprising) color results found in my monoprints,
"printing" with paint, and using paint applied
linearly, influenced by small drypoint marks.
