Continuum

Continuum was created as an attempt to visually explore time, progression, and digression. This work has one opaque layer and two sheer layers of a balloon at different stages or sizes. Depending on your perspective, the balloon is either inflating or deflating. To me it is a continuum containing both perspectives.

This piece was exhibited at Gallery 6000 in 2009.

Circuitous


Circuitous was a commissioned diptych that I recently completed. It was based on an earlier work, Ambiguous, that I finished last year, featuring many variations of a photograph I took of the spiral steps inside the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The top layer is a sheer overlay of the outline of the same spiral steps. It is the largest scale photo-transfer piece I have attempted to date, though now I am inspired to work larger yet!

The diptych is hanging in the new ICU waiting room at the Mercy Medical Center in Canton, OH.

Gravitation

Gravitation is a fusion of a sheer overlay of trees and a pathway with a photo taken in a park in London. I can't recall which park it was, perhaps Regents or Hyde? All of the parks we strolled through were so beautiful. The two images combine to create an intriguing lure toward a port of call along the journey.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum, in a group show entitled fabric-ations at Malone University's McFadden Gallery, and was shown in my two-person show entitled Sheer Obscurity, at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH.

Indecision

Indecision was created with a photograph I took in Versailles, France combined with a sheer overlay of a weathervane taken at a friend's house in Ohio. The two images seemed to work so well together to visually portray potential possibilities.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum in 2008-9.

Anticipation

Anticipation is intended to evoke a sense of suspense and excitement as one journeys onward expectantly. The front overlay is of a cloudy sky in Pittsburgh, PA. The back layer is of a colonnade at the Rotunda on the grounds of the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum in 2008-9.

Elusive

Elusive is another attempt to visualize the vantage point of looking forward trying to see what lies ahead. The archway image was taken in an outdoor corridor at the Louvre in Paris and the tree image was taken at the Genessee Monastery in New York.

This was part of my solo show entitled NEXT at the Massillon Museum, at 2nd April galerie's The View From Here show, and was shown in my two-person show entitled Sheer Obscurity, at The Little Art Gallery in North Canton, OH.

Sanctuary

Sanctuary is made up of a sheer inverted image taken in a park in Paris. This image overlays text that suggests a space to linger and rest.

This has been displayed at the 2nd April galerie, Gallery 6000, The Repository lobby in Canton, OH, and at the Arkon-Canton Airport.

Resolve

Resolve is a mixed media piece created with an inverted image of steps making their way up the dune from the beach at Lake Michigan, in Holland, Michigan. The text unites with the image to explore the concept of what makes us press on toward an elusive destination.

This was exhibited at 2nd April galerie.
