- Biographical Information
- "Works of art" both natural and man made are sharing the atmosphere in this print. They float in the air/water and create a dream-like quality which the viewer is invited to interpret for himself. The imagery combines to create a suggestion rather than a concrete or specific image. It is the artist's hope that the viewer will be able to involve himself in the print on an intimate level and see something new each time he/she passes or pauses to look. This way, the print will not become tiresome, but remain fresh and open to new interpretations and personal involvement. (Funkhouser, 1987)
