My work is figurative. The figures I choose have one purpose: they carry the line that I wish to draw. The figures are not symbolic; they don't represent anyone or anything in particular. They are the perfect excuse to get the first line going. Sometimes it is not the line that starts this domino effect - it can be a color.
After that, it's accident built on accident - a chain reaction of select accidents.-Ellen Berkenblit
