Remnants and fragments combine to form partial images, which convey an imperfect meaning from what was originally created. Like a palimpsest, the surface of these images has been sanded or scraped, but the erasure is incomplete, a ghost image of a previous existence. This combination of cut, edited and trimmed images is the basis for the oil and fresco paintings. 

Working with opaque and translucent paint layers allows for both hiding and revealing the underlying image. The physical property of each layer of paint becomes integral to interpreting the image.

Wood panels are used here as supports for painted surfaces but also utilized to create indentations that hold objects and imply a space beyond. The vertical panels present to the viewer a human-sized structure that is familiar; its height, width, and physical association with passage are an invitation to enter. The panels and canvases are executed with oil and resin which are applied in varying thicknesses that partially conceal image or text. Other materials, such as vintage cloth, silk, and photographic transparencies, are used to accentuate the souvenir-like quality of something left as a memento.
