Paintings

The paintings employ a palette of natural mineral pigments, inks, and graphite, with encaustic, cold wax medium, linseed oil, or nikawa (hide glue) used as binders. The majority are painted on printmaking paper mounted on wood panels; a few are on gesso-primed panels. The frames or cradles are conceived as an integral element of each piece.
