Available from Sande Webster Gallery, Philadelphia
Mixed Medium: Color Copies on Rag Paper,
Roscoluxcolor filters, Metal Leaf, Pastel and Plexiglas

The images are constructed in a number of layers.
The background blue and green areas are color
copies of photographs I have manipulated in
Photoshop. The copies are attached onto rag mat
board which is larger then the intended image.
Slivers of warm colored filters and leafed mylar are
glued into place. Directly against this collage is a
piece of 1/8 clear acrylic the same size as the mat
board. The acrylic is frosted on both sides in the
area over the collage. In most of the series I have
drawn on the outer surface with white pastel to
accentuate lines and various areas. The source
images have purposely been reduced to color fields.

The series was intended to be a peaceful offering,
not a confrontation of powerful issues.
