THIS SERIES OF RELIEF SCULPTURE BEGAN AS A RESPONSE TO A PUBLIC ART PROJECT I HAD BEEN WORKING ON THE PREVIOUS WINTER AND SPRING.  IT WAS ONE WAY OF WORKING THROUGH SOME OF THE ISSUES--MATERIALS, TECHNIQUES, DESIGN, COLOR, THEMES--THAT I WAS GRAPPLING WITH IN THE OTHER PROJECT.  WHAT DEVELOPED WAS A SERIES OF EMBLEMATIC FORMS SHARING COMMON ELEMENTS, REPEATING A SIMILAR VOCABULARY, CREATING AN ICONOGRAPHY OF ITS OWN.  GRADUALLY THE SCULPTURES BEGAN TO ENCOMPASS AND INCLUDE OTHER SOURCES AND REFERENCES, EXPANDING THE MOTIFS USED.  THESE REPEATED MOTIFS ALSO FUNCTION AS A VISUAL SHORTHAND (see below).
