Different processes are
used depending on the materials. With sturdy components it is one
of reduction and simplification. If all the layers were to be
peeled back, the beginnings that emerge might be bright and active.

shapes the piece into an arrangement of essential forms. The
addition of each layer further modifies the color, making it more
enigmatic.
Nothing is preconceived.
Each step directs what will follow, and there is no turning back
since everything is glued as it is placed. Found and recycled
objects are important, though these bits of the past seldom retain
their identity. “Cannibalizing” old drawings, prints and painted
papers restore past failures to a new level of acceptance. |
