Lago, 2002
Mixed media on paper (graphite, acrylic, watercolor)
Paper size: 17 x 13"
Frame: 32 x 24"

Artist Statement
Lago represents an investigation of the movement and flow of water that remains prevalent in my work.

The images visually describe the various views of a mountain top lake from a distance.
Through repetition, each individual vignette conveys the course of water through eddies and streams, with attention drawn to the changing light, reflection, and a blurred focus of the landscape.
