- Abstract geometric forms in bronze and yellow plexiglass in combination with yellow brass geometic sections, creating an environment which lies within the sculpture. Of her work, art critic Irving Sandler wrote,"...she dissolves much of whatever mass there is in her transparent medium, using its reflections and refractions to produce a shimmering, cool...light, a poetic atmosphere that pervades and surrounds the plexiglass elements, and changes surprisingly with the viewer's slightest shift in position."
