Birth Certificate
The Hearts in Geometric series inspired the next set of artworks, this time using shredded reproductions of my birth certificate. Using a similar process in the Birth Certificate series, I painted panels and then covered each with new shreds, each imprinted with a small section of this personal document. The artwork in this series not only references my own identity, but also explores the complex optic relationships that occur when color and contrast shift.
