In this series of collage work, I explore the foundations of color and texture in an abstract format.  I use this sculptural feeling of “building” a puzzle and the challenge of using color and texture translate my fascination with the geographic nature of islands and reefs.

The six color lithographs are an expansion of the collage series.  Using the techniques of lithography I was able to juxtapose transparent and opaque as well as the ordered and haphazard with this hand pulled series.
