STATEMENT
I begin by painting color and patterns on Japanese paper. Then I find a combination I like. I also paint a background color on watercolor paper. Through the use of chance and imagination, I find the subject.
The finished picture could be abstracttbased on using the paper cutouts as though they had weight and character. They could be structured, balancing, floating, or used as landscape elements.
I move the pieces around on the background until I find a way to convey meaning and emotion in the subject. Itts like a little game. When I am satisfied with the result, I glue the pieces down.
