October 16, 1793, digital photography manipulation, 10.5 x 7.5in, (26.67 x 19.05cm), $200.00 framed Although this an abstract composition, I saw a rich brocade and lace fabric with intricate embroidery.

I was looking for a title that would explain the duality of privilege and violence. Someone came immediately to mind. The title, October 16, 1793, is the date of Marie Antoinette's execution.

Into Fire and Into Ice, digital photography manipulation, 20 x 13in (50.8 x 33.02cm), framed 28 x 20in (71.12 x 33.02cm) , $300.00 A very abstracted face, ghoulish in its deformity, is open-mouthed.

The dots, lines and shapes in this image originated in an image of a slowly flowing brook.
