Artist's Statement

This latest body of work is created using unorthodox materials;

 scraps of wood, metal, plastic, paper and other assorted debris.

 These materials are then composed and collaged into an inked surface and then transferred to paper. 

Within these micro/macro, metaphoric/biomorphic landscapes, texture and form coalesce. 

Striving for a delicate balance the images take on the appearance of hybrid structures dwelling in a state of flux. 

They are my search for a visual equivalent to the daily dynamic interplay 

that occurs between the manmade and the natural environment.

Gallery Hours are Final Fridays 6 to 9 p.m.

M - W - F 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturdays noon to 4 p.m.
