Tableaus 2024
This series extends my interest in theatrical tableaus presented with rich details and open-ended narratives.
​
People are depicted in worlds of their own, often portrayed in solitude, sometimes traveling, reflecting, or taking action.
Regret, desire to break free or to belong, turning points, contemplation, and displacement are some of the words I might use to describe the themes contained in these tableaus.

I print on non-PVC polyethylene, a smooth, fabric-like plastic substrate, free of harmful chemicals. When suspended away from the wall, this pliable material flows and shifts. Hanging loosely and deliberately unframed, these pieces serve as both captivating images and vibrant objects that seem to float on the wall. The white border, printed directly on the polyethylene functions like an integrated natural mat and is an essential part of the artwork.
