Scripts | The pieces in both Vignettes and Scrips series combine the considered recordings of the artist's thoughts with the tumultuous influence, invoked in the making process, of emotion and instinct. While they are all, in a sense, records of self, they also inevitably document the artist's surroundings, cultural roots, and reasoning journey. Each step, from painting to pulp manipulation to printmaking, incorporates new methods of relating to and translating personal experience and impetus into a visual language. Their making is grounded in the desire to give and share which, at its best, the act of communication embodies.
‍
These large pieces range from loudly expressive painted compositions on and through multiple pulp layers to the meditative restraint and flow of the straight paper-fiber composition. With Vignettes, the visual language is moored in the printing blocks. In Scripts, however, the repetition of visual themes demonstrates an evolving language in which the conceptualization caught on paper records both the temporality and crystallization of ideas.
