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.

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.
