Modus Operandi

Being a maverick my style and use of medium fluxes decade to decade.
Two aspects of interest are the scratch, scrape, squeegee painted works
from 1971 and the accumulation series of beachcomber object assemblage
bricolage works from 1989. The laminating process of layering paint developed
a highly textural surface eventuating in the3D assemblages of plastic.
The viewer now reads a subject matter of beachcomber object detrirus 
as media that relates directly to the refraction between the human 
environment and the state of the biosphere.
