As a sculptor, I frequently use sketching to plan and "flesh out" pieces. The products, though helpful, are void of background and are one-dimensional. The wall hangings in the Layers exhibit stem from a desire to create drawings and sketches that are in themselves viable artwork. These pieces are the summation of layers of time, layers of materials, and layers of processes. - M.L.
