Presence/absence etching

this is an 18x24" etching, from an 18x24" zinc plate (it was humongously large), with gesso figure over the top.
One night I woke up suddenly and saw a man in my room with his back to me. He wasn't there, of course, but I was profoundly effected.

Caterpillar Shearing Sheep

18x24" cut construction paper.
started with a fringe piece, then added a free-association image about what a caterpillar would eat if it were very large: after mowing the grass, it would eat the wool off of sheep. Which would tickle the sheep.
Unfortunately this piece no longer exists.

9x9", cut paper.
Based on a dream, if I remember correctly.

cut paper paint by number dolphins

18x24", layers of white BFK paper.
This piece is so impossible to photograph- but like the Kitty, it's exploring the relationship between line and plane and depth or '3D-ness' in the picture plane.

cut paper paint by number kitty

18x24" and nearly impossible to photograph!
layers of cut BFK paper
I was wanting to explore the relationship between the lines of the paint by number diagram and the illusion of depth- but without using any color.
