Assemblage and Composition

These works are conceived as assemblages rather that collages. While collage often implies chance and spontaneity, each composition is carefully structured through organizational lines, proportional systems, and figure-ground relationships informed by architectural thinking.

Hand-printed papers, Japanese sumi ink, and acrylic paint are layered onto canvas or wood panels using traditional rabbit skin glue. Influenced by the traditions of Abstract Impressinom and artists such as Robert Motherwell, Frantz Kiine, and Robert Rauschenberg, the work balances gesture with structure.
