RELIEFS 

I’ve taken that notion of aerial perspective and applied it to many of my paintings over the years. This coupled with the notion that we consume landscape basically two ways; from above and from an elevation perspective distance. I’ve employed both elements into the work to create tension in the way we see, to break people out of just looking at something one-way.  Pictured is the first relief created, Southern Exposure, 1975, 40' x 15' mixed-media on cardboard. 

​

           The artist’s love of surface texture, light and illusionistic ambiguity are      responsible for our falling under the spell of these magical  works.
