monotypes

Other Works include monotypes, which were created using the technique known as a multi-drop process, which means, building the surface of the composition by printing successive layers of transparent inks onto a single sheet of paper.  Selective wiping of the printing plate creates soft luminous effects in contrasts with the rhythmic interplay of shapes and overlapping veils of colors.  Backgrounds and objects fuse into a subtle mixture of form and flatness and are created by using solvents to break down and build up forms. The theme is "woman as a vessel".  Drawing on a myriad of female forms, welcoming the fact that these earlier feminine icons have cross-cultural significance, often appearing as popular design motifs, these images serve as a shared shorthand for the interrelationship of all things.  The female figure and references to her throughout, symbolize the individual surrounded by many physical and psychological challenges.  Isolating and filling these vessels with mysterious glowing light and use of washes of transparent colored veils of ink, reflect quietude, solitude and atmospheric contemplation, offering a place to renew, rest, breathe and experience pure beauty and pleasure.
