Artwork Description:
Burnside 1 began in traversing Burnside Street, a main thrustreet in Portland, OR. I make sketches of negative spaces on in or seen from my meandering on Burnside and returned to my studio to capture these impressions in a lightbox made of layered collaged pieces of drafters vellum. I subtly glowing abstract image emerges, serving as metaphor for the beauty found in the overlap, juxtaposition and diversity found in the urban landscape.
