Small No. 1 - Abstract Original

A piece from my Smalls series.

My Small No. 1 is an intimate, gestural abstraction. My Small Series began as part of a daily practice during COVID to create one small piece a day - the light-hearted and free capture of a moment in time. The matted piece on paper measures 8 x 10 inches - a small piece that pulls viewers in.

Like my other abstract works, it is created using the same recycled magazine collage technique as my figurative pieces, but with a different emphasis. Rather than forming realistic imagery from paper, I use a small fragment of a recycled magazine page as a starting point—allowing a scrap or two of color or text to anchor the composition. From there, I create an abstract, minimalist image with paint and pencil.

Why Collect the Original?

Only one exists. Collecting the original connects you directly to the creative process, the hands that made it, and the story behind it.

The original is present, dimensional, and alive.
