Works On Paper – Y-CON - series 1983-1989

“The Y-Con Series” (1983-1989) defined me as an abstract artist discovering my own mark-making, iconography, and color palette.

These works on paper are a record of experience and emotion – a revelation of the time-honored process of self-exploration and how it reveals hidden forms, connective energy, and geometry. These planes imposed onto flat layered surfaces suggest extraterrestrial spaces, a key to exploring our own life experiences and how we come to be shaped by them. Revisiting the history of these pieces reminds me of what has been discovered, how these concepts evolved, what may have been lost over time and what is yet to be found.
