The Box Series examines configurations of light cast and intensity as these affect depiction of the female figure via layers of color that evoke the softness, warmth and transparency of flesh. Beneath the surface visual experience lies potential for another layer of viewer engagement. The dialogue of physical posture and personal demeanor -- within the confined space -- can be interpreted metaphorically as a reflection of the inner woman's response to her life situation e.g., acquiescence, resignation, annoyance, resistance.
