The first work is a large painting from 2012: Tree. The second piece is from a recent project I completed at Aurobora in San Francisco. It is a combination of collage and Xerox transfer on paper. I am working on a series of large tree paintings in which the Redwood fills the entire surface, becoming an abstraction. Alternatively, the Xerox transfer is a new medium for me that I see as an extension of how I think about the relationship between image, abstraction, process, and material in painting. I hope to make a lot more of these. I think of them as a form of drawing as I investigate this new series of work. -Claire Sherman, 2013
