STRANGE FRUIT

Designed for "Please Touch Again" exhibit at Tohono Chul Park Gallery, the piece incorporates many tactile surfaces. It is meant to stimulate even without seeing--by touching.

RED DOT

“Red Dot” encourages the viewer to look within the irregular surface folds playfully. To move the eye over the surface, to look close or to stand back. Are the “dots” on the surface or below?

PERFORATIONS I

PERFORATIONS II

With the “Perforations” series I’ve played with the same pattern. I encourage the viewer to explore what you see & what you think you see as though sometimes out of the corner of your eye-- beneath mist--underneath. The images recede and come forward. They encourage you to look beyond the surface, the red tones, ethereal- jewel-like, the earth tones provoke with more under their hide-like exteriors.

RECESSES

“Recesses” encourages the curious viewer to participate--to move, always shifting-- to see behind and within, perhaps even to reflect. Like peering in a keyhole or looking at water down a well to find ones self.
