Quilts on panels
The quilt fragments used in this series came from a quilt box on the sleeping porch of a home with family ties. No one lived in the home for decades, but much of the contents remained. Many images of the home and its contents can be found on the photography page. Some works contain letter and music fragments as well.
Rust, Carbon and Markings
This work incorporates rust, carbon, acrylic, graphite, image transfers, fabric, pigmented ink, photocopies, metal, and found objects.
The series includes work that is created using a process of lifting rust, carbon, and markings from charred surfaces (mainly bakeware). The rust, carbon, and markings become embedded in an acrylic “skin.” These “skins” are translucent and flexible. In addition to using these as finished pieces, sometimes other items are added – image transfers from photocopies and pigmented inkjet prints, paint, graphite, found objects, and more. Some of these “skins” are hung as finished works while others are mounted on various substrates. Similar artwork can be found in different sections of this page and under installations.
