Selections from, Compositions in Red

ongoing series

Utilizing the visual language of quilting, remnants and patterns are combined to examine the perception of fixed certainties. With their rhythmic designs and slick decadent textures, the alluring blocks are constituted from selections of problematic substances: muscle, sinew, fat, silver skin, offal, and viscera. The seeming contradiction of manipulating these abject materials into something visually captivating is deliberately paradoxical. The images actively embrace perceived antitheses: seductive/repulsive, beautiful/grotesque, treasured/worthless, even flat/raised. Not bound to one state, but fluidly– sometimes slyly–shifting between them.
