"Bird in Town"
23" X 21"
acrylic, paper on

Due to their unique shapes, these paintings hang without frames. Their arbitrary edges represent the loss of boundaries in our age, when few ideas fit neatly into rectangles -- and when the chaotic rush of the new comes through borders both broken and porous.

The graphic symbols are those that bombard us everyday. Those ubiquitous little running men, thought balloons, and arrows, especially arrows, are everywhere -- highways, computer screens, cereal boxes.

These contemporary graphics are mixed with ancient forms of life -- cats, plants, roosters, humans -- illuminating the conflict between old and the new -- a jamming up of history and technology.
