These small, abstract, mixed media works are contemplations on the hexagrams of the ancient Chinese oracle, the I Ching, or Book of Changes. They are not meant to be graphic interpretations of the hexagrams, but rather, I use the readings of the oracle as take-off points for my imagination. And do the same rules of chance apply to the throw of the sticks or coins and the making of some of the marks on the paintings?
