I am wondering if the devolving role of form, specifically the doll form from years past, is directly attributed to having worked past childhood issues and having moved on to maturity - i.e. less obsession with oneself and more with one's surroundings? The current work is powerful, full of a freedom not seen in the earlier genre - which engages the viewer, leaving him wanting more.
CA, I agree that life cycles are a part of devolving form--as are parallel cycles in the landscape such as explosions, 'spills,' international travel, and then larger social impacts of politics. Also Chinese philosophy, Taoism and Buddhism. It's all a part of it--thank you for your words.
The experiential nature and time lapse compositions in Chinese scrolls make perfect sense to me. They inspire paintings of real and imagine spaces combining pours of color, wallpaper patterns and elements of places lived or traveled.

Well done.
