Artists Statement

Using music as a metaphor, the artist works with circular forms to convey the sound sensations of chord variations, as might be explored by a musician. There is a good amount of "feeling the keyboard" in relating mosaic-like patterns of colors that fit together and compliment one another in many ways. They attempt to convey the essence of chord structures seperately and in combination. Each color has its own sound. Groups of colors repeat and can be "heard" in much the same way that notes in chord structures are experienced.

These monotypes are one of a kind prints produced by applying ink or other media to a flat surface referred to as a "plate" and manipulating the media to create an image. After the image is formed, paper is place on top of the "plate" and it is run through a printing press to transfer the image. Momotypes are often developed in layers with multiple runs through the press.
