The Mixed Media series explores a universe in which forms continually verge on collapse and rearrangement. The elements are in constant flux. They are continuously oscillating between macro and micro cosmos, spiraling in and out of control. Their energy is only stopped by the paper's edge and at the heart of this disorienting movement, lies stillness.
These playful geometric and circular patterns give rise to question whether they are something grown or man made. The internal structure and logic of these images unfolds over time, through successive layers, painting and burning.
Some pieces are made with cardboard found on the streets of New York. I embellish these mass produced pieces of cardboard with pearls and iridescent thread. I am interested in the intersection of commerce and culture, shifting back and forward between industrial and organic.
