Forest for the Trees
Highly textural and subtle colours define both the subject and the background. Pattern and repetition of elements create a business that verge on the chaotic. The control of chaos is in the structure and placement of each "tree" which is lightly defined by white torn paper outlines. The surface of the work is a combination of monoprinting techniques and the design elements are paper collage. As this series does not show well online, I encourage anyone interested in these works to schedule a studio visit. -
