This is a series
that has developed out of a larger series called Improvisations. The
Improvisations series exists from a need to explore personal images
and patterns in a free, unrestricted manner. The images and patterns
are from earth and sky, houses and flowers; the things that appeal to
me most personally. The Three Part Harmonies came from the natural desire
to link the images together and allow a conversation to exist between
the images. Allowing for freedom of expression, as in improvisation
in music, the harmonies are presented using many repeated images, and
yet each one is somewhat different and the joy is in that difference.
The harmonies exist in the beauty between the contrast of familiarity
and the unknown.
The work is mixed media of acrylic paint, dried pigments, modeling paste
and wall glaze on wooden panels.
