ABLATE

 

“The techniques behind “First Light” led to the “Ablate” series, which incorporates narrow bands of color and strips of tape that are painted over and peeled back to create a metaphor for life’s changes. “The concept is one of peeling away layers but still retaining the essential person or thing underneath,” explains the artist. “It’s a moving forward, discarding of the old and revealing the new.” - Angeline Vogl, “Art, Los Angeles,” Southern California Home and Garden, 1989
