Exploring the light at dawn and dusk has nudged my idea pool and made it ripple. The daily drawings have become springboards to new forms and expanded my definitions of dawn and dusk. I am incorporating images of transparent vessels into collages. While continuing to work outdoors I make paintings of the Bottle. I use acrylic paint and collage materials, especially newspaper, on large pieces of paper. In my collages I incorporate newspaper articles on science, the environment, and current events. These words and images chronicle our lives, and like dawn and dusk they record the passage of time. |

The intensity of the summer light is a contrast to the subtle transitions at dawn and dusk. I had my first dreams of painting the bottle while I was working outdoors. The bottles were shimmering and beautiful. One was a vivid earthy green, and that image stays with me. |

Traveling poses problems for the continuity of this project. To bridge the time I am away, I take photographs of the landscape I'm traveling through to use in collages and drawings. I can change the scale of the bottle, and the light and forms surrounding it by superimposing its image on these photographs. Below are some examples of these small travel collages. |
