Back to the studio tomorrow – working on a small set of 20 x 20 and 24 x 24 pieces that are a part of the ring series. When they are complete, I will post some photos. Thinking about how much color to include – many of these works are using subtle tints. Interested in how they feel more like objects the more minimal they are in terms of color. I work so much with optical color interactions creating activity and space that this experiment is creating an avenue I have not traveled down before.

The nonlinear book will be completed as planned this month. It includes my first twitter feeds as I feel this makes a more non sequential narrative.
