Artist Statement - The Integrity of a Tension

In this group of works I continue to explore the soft focus forms found in the Shadowgraph series. Here it is the “shadow” that prevails. Liberated from its corresponding object, it affirms its amorphous wobbly silhouette, sometimes balancing tentatively against a line or an edge, or pressing against the constraints of its environment.
