Stains:
Rice paper, ink, translucent cloth, Riker boxes and mixed media
|
These works combine drawings, based upon illustrations from an early 20th century text book on surgical procedures, and pigmented stains on translucent cloth. These stains are reminiscent of Rorschach's Inkblot test images. The cloth has an iridescent quality that subtlety obscures the drawing except in areas where ink has been applied. The ink neutralizes the refractive quality of the cloth and creates a visual opening through which the drawing beneath is more clearly revealed.
