As metaphors of life past and present, images of women flat or in relief emerge from the backdrop of a wall and then randomly disappear behind transparent veils of ghostlike female images. My flat figurative sculptures, with their white plaster-casted faces, hang on the wall and are accompanied by drawings on mylar and or hanging scrim. My linocut prints take their form as dark silhouettes comprising the human population as they proceed to carry out their daily routines.

Personalities in both mediums reflect the contemporary human condition as it exists in our lives, as well as the absolute of time. Each could be a character one would see on the street as she continues to echo the comedy and tragedy of life.
