"A wave is truly a living thing- a pattern so familiar to us, as the essential quality of every single experience we have had in our lives, we can’t help but be drawn into its quality and beauty. It’s the pull of the familiar."
from Moni Schifler-Azank's essay "Life is a wave"

As far as this writer can see, there is so much investigation to be done of the ever-rich chromatic vocabulary of painting, so traveling with Azank's astute sense of the musicality and form within a palette, it will take you on a journey to a country already traversed and another country altogether newly formed.
And yes, there are many more to come.
