surfaces
2004-2024
Extreme heat and pressure on trillions of skeletons of tiny ancient organisms created the beautiful and varied rock called marble. Spending time in Rome, I was mesmerized by the abstract forms and colors swirling on the marble surfaces of the many centuries-old churches. My photos of these surfaces became textures and shapes for my own abstractions, and I marveled at a billion years of planetary life’s colorful creations, which now adorn religious and cultural sites around the world.
