Windows

This collection of monotype prints uses light, tone, and texture to create secrets. Just as windows in a house provide passersby the opportunity to glimpse a sliver of space without revealing the whole, these multilayered, abstract compositions tease the viewer with fragments of a deeper narrative, while revealing only the essential elements.
