While I have been focused on my book, “The Migraine Book: A Memoir in Pictures” in recent years, this year I’ve chosen to feature another genre that I have worked in most of my life: abstraction.
It fascinates me to try to create images that have no reference to the narrative world, letting go of exterior reference to let intuition take over, playing with line, color, shape and pattern.
This letting go can be a lovely, spiritual experience. The process is one of making a mark, or cutting and gluing, then stopping long enough to wonder, wordlessly, “What happens next?”
At the Studio Tour, The Migraine Book will also be available, as well as some of my figurative work.
