    Discovery and Transition

    Volumetric Color Constructions

    Upon returning from Italy on a Ford Foundation Grant in 1978 I began a series of

    canvas paintings concerned with joining traditional perspective with the

    contemporary spatial issues of two-dimensional painting. On one particular

    canvas I broke up the atmospheric space and stopped short by leaving a white

    rectangle at the top right side. In the morning I woke with the answer: to paint

    that section Blue - a pure sky blue rectangle at the top right hand corner of the

    canvas. This blue cut created the illusion of three-dimension leading me to go

    foreword with the idea of actual space relationships ( 3-dimensional)

    rather than illusionistic. I title this breakthrough painting "Blue Cut" and in 1980 I turned to three-dimensional painting: constructed paintings in wood with actual space relationships. While working on relief collages in the following year I discovered how adjacent color surfaces reflected against each other creating an illuminating color glow and have since incorporated this idea in my work. I continue to pursue the many possibilities of form and reflected color.
