These prints are earlier work with mono printing, monotypes and collage - the beginnings of experiments in what is inside, what is outside, what we show, what we conceal.

If we must die, if we constitute our own world, if each is ultimately alone in an indifferent universe, then what meaning does life have? Why do we live? How shall we live? If there is no pre-ordained design for us, then each must construct our own meanings in life. Yet can a meaning of one’s own creation be sturdy enough to bear one’s life? This existential dynamic conflict stems from the dilemma of a meaning-seeking creature who is thrown into a universe that has no meaning
