About the show:
In my mixed media works, collaged papers, drawings, and photographs operate like metaphorical apertures. The visual architecture of the work uses personal signs and symbols leading through symbolic doors and windows, constructing a poetic and meditative space. Some of my recent paper based works are delicate, textured, and irregularly shaped collages. I also have a series of 5 X 7 boards that use pencil, collaged paper and paint. These are based on the New Mexican landscape and traditional textiles called colchas, composed of found pieces of fabric quilted together and stitched, which can be traced to Turkey and Sephardic Spain.
