Notes
"The piece combines my interest in African head scarves as symbols of everyday beauty and my on-going fascination with pattern, stripes, and fractured images. The shimmering effect of palm leaves dancing in a breeze is accentuated by the folded paper and string system. I tried to capture a sense of vibration, a fleeting glance in evening light. As the viewer moves, the piece should contain a sense of ethereal motion."
