This Vessel
THE WORDS: snippets i've read, overheard, or realized- each one adding another facet to my understanding of life
THE IMAGES: snapshots or my collage paintings on wood panel, these are an ongoing response to things i see and feel, they involve layers, erosion, and chance and allow for more spontaneity than my large sculptural works.
click on the image and you get a giant detailed version.
if you want to view all the images alone, click on 'image' in the list of keywords below.
Thanks for looking and thinking...
