These pieces are aerial in feeling if not in actuality.  Lightness of being stems not only from the magic of paper as a vehicle but from the brightness of inks and pigments used.  Prints – lithographs, monotypes, photo transfers – show the human body in a “play sphere” of foamy, densely imaged backgrounds suggesting an enigmatic space.  Sculptures in over beaten flax paper begin as “remains”, figures in sparkling black paper melting into “techtonic” wood fragments.  “remnant boxes” feature “imagines” like those from Pompeii – but lifted high on bamboo platforms.  “cocoon bundles”  are personas all wrapped in printed fabric – mobiles from another world spinning in space.  “conundrums” express the colorful relationships of man and child – some tossed in the air, some cradled in the arms.  “curtain cages” present the notion of the cage as a garment, although the body always escapes to the outside of such prisons.  Spirit remains immaterial even as it becomes real in a floating world of light and color.
