Black and White: Works on Paper

 

Black and White: Works on Paper

 


These works are my drawings.

They are experimental, function as complete works and are often too large to be comfortably framed. They can be mounted on canvas for installation/hanging purposes. For greater protection, they can be framed under plexiglass.

Like many drawings, these works, at times, provide inspiration for my paintings.

Risks are taken and at times, the sense of the 'whole' is offered up as sacrifice, in order to capture the nature or experience of parts of the 'whole'.

Layerings, collaged elements, and at times grids form referential aspects in my search to create mesmerizing space and beauty. Grids provide some compartmentalization of parts.

Paintings: marks, kinetic sensation, chaotic energy, a building, a destruction, mental, emotional, complex and bewildering spaces, autobiographical references, major dreams, minor non-dreams.

Materials: gouache, ink, watercolor, acrylic, charcoal, conte, soft pastels, oil pastels, pencil, polymer medium, spray paint, enamel, rice papers, newspaper, Andes mint foils on Arches hot-pressed 100% rag, acid-free paper.
