“Meat”, Mixed Media on Paper, 18″ x 24″

Most of the pieces from this post are from my first ever gallery show at the, now defunct, 4Women Gallery in Chicago in 2001. I was excited about the attention, but I think that my work back then was too much about experimenting to find a statement (I was commonly using sawblades and sewing needles, among other things, as mark-making utensils), than it probably should of been for any serious gallery to take notice. Nonetheless, here are some of the pieces that I still have, all are works on paper. Enjoy.
