The work is abstract, pigment-rich color studies, made by hand cutting and adhering thousands of tiny sampled pieces of paper, one piece at a time onto a cradle board like a puzzle with no overlapping. These works serve as a meditation in process for me and as a meditation aid for others as a final product. When making these pieces I don't anticipate my next move or the piece as a whole, instead, I slowly choose one remnant at a time. This is an action in focusing on the “present.” They are my daily reminder that there is beauty in this world, amongst all this everyday ugly. Self-reflection, momentary living, and color appreciation are my getaways from our current chronic depressive geopolitical, pandemic world state. I would argue that this is the most political art I can make at this time.
