Botanicals
These Botanicals represent three year’s work in Flashe, oil, acrylic, pastel, oil pastel, charcoal along with other ingredients such rubber gloves, yarn, barbed wire, and a variety of found objects. In 2023 when asked, Are you painting? I replied, “Not exactly, I’m building boats.” Thus the works titled Botanical Boats—painted constructions that are a hybrid of painting and sculpture.
