By restricting herself to nonrepresentational forms, earth-based colors, and "found" pieces of paper, Frecon achieves balance and openness in her work. The book features oil paintings and watercolors dating from the late 1990s to 2007. Included is an essay revealing the "ethics" of her aesthetics - an argument for abstraction and an attention to truth that is not divorced from social and environmental concerns.--Dust jacket.
