Artist's Statement
"PEREGRINATIONS/REFLECTIONS" - Each culture reveals a hidden truth, a different story. What are the birds prognosticating? Due to the reflective quality of the woven vinyl strips - from the side, the image is distorted, and disorienting. From the frontal approach, an interaction occurs between the work and the viewers' reflected image.
Materials - mixed medium - canvas, acrylic paint, vinyl strips, plastic sheeting.
Process - Clear vinyl strips are woven through a slit painted canvas. In addition, in some instances, painted plastic sheets are applied. This process alters the painting's structure and creates a 3-dimensional experience.
