My abstract creations are pure play time! I play with colors, lines, shapes, textures, patterns and value. When I am creating I do so in a fun, loose fashion that captures my emotions at the time. Color and energy are all around me, I just try to get in onto a surface. I work with no objective in mind. I’m just getting energy out. I use whatever I have around, mark making tool like charcoal, graphite, sticks dragged through paint. I use different painting mediums such as watercolors, inks, acrylic and sometimes oils. There is no limitation, only play and expression. After the “play” session is over, I cut up the finished pieces and rearrange in a collage fashion. Most often, I layer transparent prints on top to add interest and depth. I have recently started to express this play in fiber. Sometimes the finished piece is just fiber, piecing and embroidery and sometime the fiber piece is again, a collage of paper and fiber elements. We’ll see where that takes me. For me, this “no rules” approach is pure freedom. It is pure play.
