A New Project Unfolds
Motion:2006 broke new territory for the creation approach.

By dividing an image into multiple, individual sheets, the physical painting process transformed to a different experience. Still in midst of production, the entire painting is composed of 6" X 9" panels, broken into 15 sections. Each "cell" contains an unique title, following a series of words placed within the set-up.
