of Colors
Carol Sams uses earth tones
as she layers her paintings.
Sams scratches through these tiers to reveal what exists beneath the surface.
Each layer has its own meaning and definition. Her recent body of work, "Anal-
ogon," provides an exploration of perception as experienced through these visu-
al layers.
The paintings can be seen through Nov: 17 at Creative Resource, 162 N. Wood-
