Conversations…
Drawings, Sculpture, and Artist Books
September 8 – October 17, 2015

Opening Reception:
Friday, September 11, 7 – 9 pm

 

 

“My aim in making drawings, sculpture and artist books is to capture motion, to freeze a moment in time. The works I produce seem to me to be continually conversing and overlapping. The process in all three media is the same for me. I start with an idea, collect images and information, and finally realize the completed work.

The drawings are inspired by the line, gesture and movement of dancers. I draw with watercolor crayon and washes on watercolor paper.

I use clay and the lost wax process to create the bronze sculptures which reflect the constant flow of the figure in dance and repose.

I construct the books by monoprinting the paper, choosing and collaging images depicting the message I wish to convey in a format that allows a sense of kinetic energy.

It is my pleasure to present this exhibition and convey the excitement and energy I experienced while creating these pieces.”
