In this piece I started using shoe cardboard I had made for prior pieces that were different colors and shades. But in using different shades of orange and red I saw how the prior difference could alter these two colors significantly. It was in this piece that I also discovered what I could do with incredibly thin strings, pulling them apart from cords. I threw them in with the paint to see what happens. And I loved the connections of different shapes and colors, using different materials in different areas. It may be abstract, but I always think of these works of all pieces and materials connecting, or struggling with disconnection, sometimes simultaneoulsy.
