These larger scale pieces are built up over time with alternating layers of acrylic paint and rice papers, most with many images printed as monotypes, rubbings, and calligraphs. These collage compositions are unified by pathways of light.
light on water
So many pathways of light forever in motion.
moon breathing
Flooding and ebbing tides express the breathing of the moon — the interconnectedness of the ocean and the universe.
sea / sky / moon
The sun and moon create pathways of light moving through shadow.
susurrus
Soft breezes result in erratic delicate pathways of falling leaves and samaras; and play with the branches and waves.
passing storm
The energy of the storm is the wild ecstatic dance of nature.
as above / so below
Water transforms light, creating reflected images on the surface and refracted images beneath.
harmony / rhythm
Energetic chaos quiets into peaceful stillness.
waves / wind / wood
Oscillation of different wave patterns intersect to magnify and telescope the transparent layers of images through water.
seasons / tides
The bright glitter path of a winter sun, the concentric ripples caused by a raindrop…and a morning mist that erases everything.
prophecy / ritual
Deep water hides the secrets of the past, and whirlpools hold the energy for the future.
flow / undulation
Impressions in the sand appear — shapes and forms repeat and then dissolve.
