Item Description

The Two Faced Series Red, Yellow, and Blue, are each 10 in. squares that are mounted and framed in blond wood.  Each piece is 14 in. square framed. 

These transitional drawings balance between figurative work and abstraction.  Beginning with found drawings and defined through layering color punctuated with line, these work question identities.  The line takes on a life of its own finding subjects within the moving shapes, the same way personas are created through experience.  Each drawing in the Two Faced Series explores duality within actions and reactions of the human experience.
