'Patchwork'

"Inspired by an aerial perspective of farmland. A landscape where fields are divided into smaller, irregular plots, each often cultivated with different crops or at different stages of growth. This creates a visually varied and intricate pattern, much like a quilt."  This piece reflects my continued exploration of organic textures & forms, recreated in paper & acrylic. Each individual segment is collaged with found & painted papers then coated with multiple layers of acrylic. The final piece is mounted on a wood panel so it appears to float on the wall when displayed.

 

'Tafoni'

 "Inspired by rock structures that look like honeycomb or Swiss cheese and form over eons through cycles of erosion and weathering.  This sculpture is created using painted papers, the two-sided segments are adhered together then coated with multiple layers of acrylic to increase stability. The oval lace-like pattern is cut out, each section is attached to form final sculpture. Additionally the shadows cast by this structure become an intriguing part of the piece. This sculpture reflects my  continued exploration of organic textures & forms, recreated in paper & acrylic."
