Artist Statement:


    I took photographs of details of gorgeous old homes in New Orleans just prior to Katrina – many are now gone or damaged. I travel there frequently as well as to other port cities, where I shot pictures of waterside rusted barriers which have beautiful colors and forms. I superimposed images I painted digitally based on these two photo-studies. A grid of dotted x-forms was used as a metaphor for blocked escape routes.

Process Information:


    Digital image made with Photoshop and Illustrator. It was printed on non-woven polyester textile and overprinted with dye; pastel/pencil also added.
