Precarious Balances Drawings

This series explores interrelationships among natural, social and political phenomena. Photo collage and drawing were used to develop images for large-scale drawings on paper and Mylar. 3D sculptural panoramas comprised of glass, sand, and drawn shapes, also were constructed as additional source material. Images from these same processes were also developed into etchings, and screen and lithographic prints.
