In these new works a concoction of entities and acrylics on paper form landscapes.

Venturing Wild 1-4 completed!

In this piece the entities were created by a uniform process. Each entity is placed in it’s own enclosure within mountains and pathways.

This piece depicts a point within the Venturing Wild Process. A pure and random place which somehow claimed it’s right to exist at a time that was frail, but also resilient and peaceful.

This piece reflects on a journey. I started with random “wild pieces” made of fiber and acrylics – small entities each representing a distinct identity derived from the interaction of the materials. These entities were then sampled in a coincidental yet deliberate manner, eventually arriving at an unplanned fulfillment of the journey.

Currently I am “venturing wild”. My conscious and willful decision in this piece is to be “messy”: to work within flow, and subsequently create order by embracing the meeting points within the disorder.
