SOLO WORKS

The etched series explores the dance of color and light. Experimenting with methods that layer color on a solid surface which is then etched away from dark to light, this series has evolved to expose complex stories as the color moves in and out over the body of the work, taking on an energy unique to each piece as layers are slowly etched away.
