Artist Statement
I love working with collage because it gives me the freedom to cut up work I’m not satisfied with and reuse it in a new and unexpected way. The surprise delights me. The human figure has been a subject for artists for millennia. The drawings from models in this show are examples of the pleasure I get from this process of collage. From the ashes springs a renewal.
The solarplate etchings are a variation of my way of experiencing making art. Usually etchings are used as a way of reproducing the same image many times (a run) – often up to 100 times. But, again, I like the surprise of making each one different through change of color, adding collage (Chincole), etc.
Both the daffodils and the beach scenes came as a response to the exceptionally cold winter we had this year. The first signs of the daffodils pushing up, sometimes through snow, again signaled the promise of renewal. And, a week’s escape to the Caribbean reaffirmed the possibility of a lush fecundity that
invited a slow relaxation of body and mind.
