OFF THE GRID

1987 - 1992

In the mid 1980’s, I made some paintings that were reminiscent of action painting. I introduced drawing. II also began to use fabric in some of the paintings, an influence derived from collages that I had done on paper. Sometimes, the fabric was canvas itself. I moved away from the grid as a basis of composing.

CIRCLES

During this time, I made paintings that had circular images. This was a further rejection of the grid. Some had color but many were in black and white.
