A Second Glance.In my art, I wish to capture not only the outside surface or concept of a subject, but its ability to be reflected in its environment and then manipulated in my mind and in my hands. As the convex lens convex lens n. A lens having at least one surface that curves outward like the exterior of a sphere. of an eye captures so much detail in such a small diameter, I wish to explore curved views, slanted images, and contrasting textures all at once, in the same piece, regardless of the medium used. When quilting quilting, form of needlework, almost always created by women, most of them anonymous, in which two layers of fabric on either side of an interlining (batting) are sewn together, usually with a pattern of back or running (quilting) stitches that hold the layers , I can create textures and depth simply by choosing different fibers or stuffing protruding pro·trude v. pro·trud·ed, pro·trud·ing, pro·trudes v.tr.

When painting and photographing, I must manipulate those 3-D areas to lay down on paper, while maintaining their ability to jump out visually through the use of color not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed.

A goal in my artwork is to combine the simple and the complex, to create a piece in which the subject's purity shines through a cluttered, cropped, or obscured view, a view individual to my perception. Though complexity should not outweigh an underlying theme or distract from the innocence of a basic image, it can be used to add interest and to create new ways of looking at something ordinary. I want the stitches, layers of textiles, paint, and printed shadows to always be seen in my finished products, testimonials of having poured myself willingly into my work, reeling the viewer's eyes back in for a second glance.
