Recent Work 2024-2025
I often use figures and objects from books, documents, instructions and other varied sources for the main images in my work. In recent years I have used modified diagrams of knot tying instructions. Sketching out various configurations of the instructional diagram, my interest lies in what can be added, deleted and manipulated in creating an image.
