Artist statement
I try to find the place where paper and fabric meet. In these pieces, for example, I used paper with a high fiber content. I like to find artists who write on fabric and sew with paper.
My work has a heavy design emphasis; color balance, spatial relationships, efficient line. I want shapes flattened and simplified. Realism and shading are non-existent issues for me
