The stanza ii collection
A new collection of line figures. Sizes range from 16x20" in alcohol ink on paper to 22x30" acrylic paint on handmade 140lb cotton rag paper.
This collection is an extension of the Spring 2019 Stanza collection, which emerged from an intensive time of study and reflection on my time as a dancer and the human form. For this collection I continue to have a focused interest in posture, movement and powerful pauses.
