Ice Cave
I see stripes everywhere. Rain running down a window pane, shadows elongating in a courtyard. Streams of water running down high mountains as in Ice Stripes. As the observer may see I use a variety textures to finish my image. With a painted background, I add lace, fabric, thread and found objects to complete.
Ice Arch
An arch is created as much of the snow and packed ice evaporates to create its own architecture. I love how it takes form and constantly changes. What I capture here may last in reality for days, weeks or it could be only a matter of hours.
Nature carves out many openings along the line of an ice bluff to create a bridge frozen but not to last a long length of time. As sunlight glints on certain sides and reflections of the ocean water paint this piece of temporary architecture.
