2019 - 2022
Simultaneously experiencing new motherhood and the pandemic necessitated more idiosyncratic and intuitive ways of working, creating raw, anxious, awkward, colorful and tender forms. Following sketches and watercolors, I work in intervals over long periods of time in the studio to make intricate shapes, hard edges, and marbled spills. The flat surfaces made inside reveal how different color fibers reconnect without the addition of pigments or dyes to create new colors.
This work is all hand formed paper made from different color repurposed, torn and pulped bedsheets and t-shirts. No additional pigments or dyes.
