Artist Statement:
Sculptural bodies consume and disrupt space, blurring the lines between order and chaos. The combination of a tactile sensory experience, and the physicality of my process, generates a state of flow. Watercolor paper and Sinamay fabric are dampened to produce a malleable surface that is manipulated into an intrinsic flowing form. As the fibers dry, they render a contoured skeletal support that retains a sense of movement and fragility. The energy and vigor of the color pink counter the reflective white and metallic paper, while complementary contrasting pieces utilize light and shadow, activated as in the multiplicity of natural organisms.
