Origins
This early series of work demonstrates my developing interests in textures, maps, natural patterning, relationships of humans to the natural world, and also reflects my travels in Australia and India. Shown is just a sampling of artworks from this time period. It provides a glimpse into the lineage of my conceptual and formal artistic concerns.
