Last Thursday night was the opening of the I-95 Triennial at the University of Maine Museum of Art, in which I had two pieces. Here is a link to the show and to the review in Yankee Magazine.
Just two weeks away from completing my second semester in grad school. The students ahead of me are currently displaying their thesis work at the 808 Gallery on Commonwealth Avenue, Boston.

Taped Landscapes
Over the past few weeks, I have been painting the lines of my weaving on my canvases. Juxtaposed to the organic tree shapes, the stripes add an architectural quality to my recent work. I will be showing the following paintings in my final critique on April 26th.
By reusing the tape from my painted canvases, I am working on creating new linear compositions.

Spring Work
Below are my most recent painting and print images. In the following two paintings, I have include shapes from my weaving practice. I would like these new painted stripes to begin a dialogue of the feminine and domestic within my paintings.
This large 12' x 4' print is a response to using a specific framework to create. In the piece below I carved blocks from cardboard and printed these images in sequence to the song "You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley. My imagery and color were directed by my reaction to each line consecutively within the song. I have been thinking about words, color and image and how the three relate.
Detail
Our book project is underway and I have begun the first stages of printing. Each student in my program has been assigned a BU graduate poet to work with in collaboration on making an edition of 3 hand made books. The images below this wall of prints are practice images printed from wood blocks. I am experimenting with color, optical overlays and transparencies.
