About The Artist
ENTER A TRANSITORY WORLD, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN REAL AND IMAGINED
I create paper sculpture in bas relief. My work features ‘almost-but-not-quite real’ spaces that are somewhere between authentic and imagined, sliding in and out of reality.
Using paper and adhesive to create these spaces, I build three-dimensional forms by cutting, scoring, and folding each element of a piece. I then adhere each element to the base, juxtaposing forms and shapes to highlight their points of contact and the shadows they cast with the goal of creating a dynamic composition that captures my vision.
I ask you to consider:
-
What is it?
-
Where is it?
-
What do you see?
-
What do you feel?
-
Do you find yourself in it, or not?
My inspiration for a piece may come from a variety of sources. It might be a walk in the park, my reaction to what’s happening in the world, or feelings I experience from personal life circumstances.
Educated at Boston University (BFA, sculpture) and Cranbrook Academy of Art
(MFA, sculpture), I see sculpturally. I am inspired by 19th and 20th century African sculpture; the Constructivism, Geometric Abstraction and Cubism (Picasso, Braque, Lipschitz) art movement; Giorgio de Chirico’s ‘illogical perspective’ works; Joseph Cornell’s shadow boxes; and Frank Stella’s metal reliefs.
I invite you to glimpse into my interpreted world and discover where you find yourself.
