Each piece in Quartets and Variations consists of four or more images framed together so that the elements of each quartet are part of a conversation. They interact as if parts of a musical composition with rhythm and harmony. The images reference the landscape and nature. A stand of trees becomes a branch and then devolves into a mysterious abstraction. Images repeat from quartet to quartet, with variations in color or composition. Patterns emerge and flow. Is it the night sky or an underwater scene? There is a recurring map image suggesting a journey. Layers interact.
Residency
I spent the month of September 2003 at Dorland Mountain Arts Colony in Temecula, California. Dorland is in Southern California about 60 miles from San Diego. I had a cabin (without electricity!) in which to live and work for the month. It was a wonderfully productive time. Lots of work and time to reflect.
