The Ziggurats are reflections of a search for order, simplicity, clarity and balance. Made from Japanese WASHI paper stitched together, then dyed with acrylic stains and varnishes, the work is stenciled with metallic, iridescence and subtle colors and finally, leafed with gold, copper or silver.... referencing things ancient uncovered, discovered.
No two pieces are exactly alike, they evolve as connected notes...one leading into the next.This work is minimal, primitive yet formal in its voice, definitely handmade-with irregular edges, hand stitching and textural surfaces, bringing to the viewer a remembrance of...sail making, teepees, quilting...temples.
