Spray Paint and Acrylic Gouache on pieced and sewn Mylar, Unframed, 16"x14"

Like Gina's paintings, these collaged mylar pieces are cut and sewn. Forms develop through chance and control. Color, light and translucency become formal components in the work about challenging conventions of materiality in art.
