   "This body of work is my latest effort to create two-dimensional art that has been inspired by concepts of quantum physics. These works are mixed print media collagraph monoprints on paper. Each print is unique but includes combinations of elements that are used in more than one piece, creating the variations. Each print has been run through etching press four to seven times using different plates. There are acrylic collagraph plates of various texture and finish, printed using intaglio or relief methods. In addition, there are plates printed in positive monotype and retroussage methods. The combination creates a complex image of diffraction patters, lines, shapes and colors caused by the printing of multiple layers. The (waves of) possibilities are endless."
