from the artist:

“The monotypes are an extension of the Random Walk process into printmaking. Each of the 'Dervish' works employs exactly the same random process - a chance direction of line paired with a pre-determined color, length of mark, number of marks, and width of mark — with vastly different results. The serial nature of the project, the diverse outcomes, and the ecstatic color underscore the issues of contingency and irony at the center of my work today.”
