Mixed Media Compositions

After being confined to the small format of the altered books, I was inspired to develop similar imagery but on a larger scale. This resulted in work that incorporated polaroid and digital photo transfers, often with the addition of text and paint; as well as several compositions of patterned layers created with collaged ephemera reminscent of the earlier geometric paintings.
