Interior I, Portal Series
Collage, Giclée Prints Available
Portals and Stairs Series 1997-2006
This work reflects my long-standing interest in the symbolic nature of doors, window, and stairs, what lies beyond them, and whether one chooses to go through, up, or down to another place. With the absence of human figures in these scenes, it is the viewer who is invited to "enter" and move through the space. It is the viewer's imagined choices and emotions that activate each piece.
The Portal, Interior, and Window collages were created with pieces of magazine paper. In the Stairs series, I began to use watercolor pencils with the cut paper, and included hand spun fiber and silk threads. Each piece is like a photograph, capturing place and light, exposing both real and dream worlds as one.
