SYNTHESIS OF EAST AND WEST:
INSTALLATION
fanscapes, 1993
Although I began with works on paper, another aspect of my art focuses on works in space, as attested to by my public art pieces. Space and movement are only implied on paper, but both can be realized in more space-related projects. Sculpture allows me to explore both space and movement more fully. In particular, I am interested in developing work which goes beyond the two-dimensional image, but which is always connected to it.
