ECHOES OF THE THINGS YOU SAID.
6" x 6" Varnish and gouache on used field book paper and bamboo in wood, 2022
ARTIST STATEMENT
"My current works explore color, line, form, and pattern and are created on used
field book paper. I began working with field books after a hurricane blew my
tree and treehouse onto a neighbor’s property, exposing a trove of material.
She had boxes and boxes of these old books. I was enchanted. The paper is
stormproof. It’s infused with resin and has an inherent object-ness. The original
code-like markings make for dynamic and romantic springboards of
compositional play. I react to it. My son tells me these works are treasure maps. I
say treasure chests."
