i chose, rather than starting a new piece, to work on these 3, which i felt were incomplete. as a result, i feel all 3 have become richer & more complex in a good way, as opposed to busy. as you will discover, all three have been turned 180 degrees.
in each case, the space is now activated and punctuated by discreet visual events which lead the eye through the collage and suggest enigmatic biomorphic forms. color is a part of this, as well as the introduction, in paradise valley and glashutte, of cut out, deconstructed calligraphic marks from my warm up sketch book, leaving some of the pages with scissor created slashes & holes. see the example in the 4th row.
