The ongoing “Descendants” series was inspired by the flickering movement of aspen leaves, Alexander Calder’s mobiles, and fabric drying on clothes lines.After working for decades on pieces that use the wall as a support, I became enthralled by the dance-like motion and shifting shadows produced by linked collages, suspended from the ceiling.
These current ceiling-to-floor iterations rotate around their axes. The individual groupings of Descendants communicate a variety of human states, sometimes playful and joyful, sometimes serene and contemplative.
