"Size Matters"
September 2020
"My show, "Size Matters” was inspired by my fascination with quantum mechanics, the physics of the very small, the sub-atomic world. [...] I saw connections between these subjects and my readings a sort of melding of art & science.
The result is a show that dallies between the 2D and 3D, the manipulation of colors, shapes, sizes and repetition of objects. My imagination and my responses to my readings helped create these pieces."
