Bowl/Ball (detail), 2010

A ball with diameter of 8.5" is created by cutting circles out of each sheet of a stack of 8.5 x 11" paper. The remaining stack is cut in half forming the bowl. Both works remain unglued, precarious as loose stacks.

An 11” high stack of 8.5 x 11” paper is bonded together with gesso and cut into three equal size sections. The three loaves are carved from the central

giclee print
40 x 30 inches
Eight sheets of 30 x 22" paper spanning a wall are continually glazed and sanded, creating a "map" of the wall's imperfections, while leaving a record of their creation. The culmination was a supplementary work, consisting of the repetition of the wall image and a text ruminating allegorically on its impetus.
