Series #4:  TWISTED STRIPS
     

These works emphasize moving, flowing, very graphic designs.  The weaves used can vary in stiffness and drape relative to concept and application.  The style of work is adaptable to any shape of space involved.  The twisting of the strips creates a two to three dimensional shift that makes the works stand away from the wall in various places.  They are, in essence, high relief, two-dimensional pieces.
