clearly loves both media and this is further borne out by the large installation piece that dominates the main gallery.  In many ways it suggests a thoroughly abstract/cubist painting that comes alive in a 3 dimensional world.  The artist has effectively �carved� up the gallery environment with color and form in such a manner that the walls literally invade the space.  You walk through and do not view so much as feel an active part of the piece.
