Remnants acrylic & pencil on canvas
Above New York
This series of works is based on my memories of my seven years living in New York City.
Some are aerial views of the city, the places and paths that are meaningful to me.
I combine acrylic paint in a patchworked, intricate pattern along with woven wires, thread and metal.
The canvas is often cut through and woven together with the wires.

Personal Geography
For this piece I created two paintings on the front
and backside of a single piece of canvas. I then cut the canvas and knitted the whole
piece together. These photographs show the progression of the work.
