Description

Three-dimensional works appear as two-dimensional constructs, and vice-versa. I “free fold” – an improvised folding technique based on a familiarity with Japanese joinery and polyhedron structures – different weights, sizes and natural-fiber papers to create the architecture, the physical structure, of my work. With many repetitive folds, a sense of infinitum is present, as well as the idea of an end and a beginning, without certainty. And objects in the round, require to be seen in the round, becoming a different piece, a different experience from each vantage point it’s viewed.
