​

Wrapped Forms combined elements of my wrapped dolls and vessel-like forms (see doll catalogue). The process of using a laborious drawing technique encouraged meditation and reflection. The vessel-like drawings, at first concealed, are slowly unwrapped.

​

In Rudiments (2008), the drawings are minimal graphite images floating in air.

Rubbed (2017) is a series of drawings based on rubbings from various objects I have collected.

​

Familiar Territory: Excerpts (2009) emerged through the process of packing a finished wall drawing for storage. I was intrigued with the spontaneous composition resulting from a haphazard arrangement of objects on foam core board.  The “legends” accompanying the exhibition documented the history of the objects and materials used in each piece.
