The Twins series was conceived in 2007 while working on a project with Redmoon Theater. I learned to gang cut my wood mosaics to provide a mirror image.

The first mosaic took eight months to complete. The next two took all of 2008. At that time, Ivan Karp asked me to come to New York when I had six sets finished which I managed to do in early 2009.

The subjects are chosen from the figure models that pose for my Sunday life drawing class. The pieces are started as photographs which I take myself. I spend a lot of time observing my mosaic subjects before the actual process begins.

The mosaics are made of natural woods triple glued to a plywood base. They are hung from a cleat and stand about two inches from the wall. They are totally flat with only a slight curvature to the eyes, but give the impression of dimension.
