Squares Circles Ovals


My interest in simple shapes stems from my wonderment at the difference between three-dimensional human movement (my decades of training and experience), and the two-dimensional image on paper, leading to exploring formal elements. What is this paper, its edges, its arbitrariness as a delimiter of space. Minimalism—in movement, music, visuals—has spoken to me since the ‘70s. Black circles speak specifically of grief.
