| This
series of small collages |
| is
a study in diagonals and |
| the
way they work inside a |
| square.
I've played formal |
| structure
against aged and |
|
worn materials, contrasting |
| velvety
old papers with hard, |
| shiny
etching ink. My collection |
| of
worn envelopes provided |
| ready-made
diagonals, and in |
| some
cases introduced curved |
|
lines. The black monoprinted |
| elements
are fragments of |
| large
letter forms I printed on |
old
book pages that I fused |
| in
layers and sanded into |
| near-illegibility. |
