Artist Statement
For over 20 years, I have worked with newspaper as my main medium, creating both two and three dimensional works with this material. My fascination with newspaper consists not only of its historic and informative aspect, but also that newspaper being a daily material, holds a reference point for my own daily stories used as imagery. My use of newspaper as an expressive medium also presents me with a perfect black/white/and limited color palette, which has always been my choice. My work is usually based on an oversized image. In my "Street Scenes" series, the image (an observation of daily life), is presented to the spectator as he or she must form its story. My “Female Head/Madonna” series are based on numerous sources, including paintings of Giovanni Bellini, Giotto, Byzantine icons and mosaics, as well as friends of mine that I have used as models. In all my work surfaces, subject matter, color and content are all created in order to convey tension between opposites.
