Ray Stratton

Most of my work in recent years has been about communication. Communication with
ourselves, in terms of thoughts and memories, and communications with other and the
difficulties and misunderstanding inherent in those attempts at understanding. My recent work
has become more abstract in nature, but is still dealing with these same ideas.
Part of this is the difficulty as an artist to express these concepts that are often so tangled in our
own heads. They often exist in layers of meaning that even as the artist, I have yet to unravel it
all. It’s almost as if these ideas have these protective layers surrounding them.
This work is created with handmade paper and various printmaking media. I’m very interested
in exploring more of the three dimensional possibilities of handmade paper.
