Hatches are portals to other places. They uncover lost layers, like peeled wallpaper exposing old images and emotions.
This series explores how simple design rules can lead to expressive compositions. These works blend inspirations from Frank Lloyd Wright’s decorative works, Art Deco patterns, the Bauhaus school, and Sol Le Witt’s rules-based art practice into fresh new compositions.
