Early images from "The Book of Umm"
The Book of Umm is a series of small water-color paintings based on an automatic drawing practice which I use as a reference to make carved reliefs on a larger scale. Since July of 2011, the series has gone through many changes within the 7 1/2" x 11" format. As of April 2013, a new series I call "New Shapes", created using Adobe Illustrator, has run parallel to, and penetrated, the Book of Umm.
