'Fly Paper' show at The Artist's Project, December 4-7 at Merchandise Mart, Chicago

My new body of work " fly paper" has been a continuation of the past several years inspection of natural forms. I love working on paper, the immediacy of ink on paper, the simplicity of the medium. I then delve into the longer process of collage, taking the time to digest the image. Repetitive forms found throughout the manmade and natural world hold an endless fascination for me. Plants, feathers, skeletons, ethnographic iconography as well as the enormous energy in nature influence my work.
