Horses

An assembled stack of three irregular rectangles: one stiff, shiny, and open, composed of irregular shapes in light, bright green, red, gray. The bottom two with fluid combinations of fabric and layers of paint, stitching and beads. A fragmented, yet unified effect in orange, mint, purple, white and black.

Statement from the Artist

This piece comes from a moment when I began exploring the combination of soft fabrics with harder materials. It was also a kind of collection of leftovers from other paintings and drawings, all sewn together, imagining a diary of remnants.
