From flat surface to sculptural form: a look at what\u2019s currently evolving in my studio.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rooted in narrative abstraction and process art, this work in progress transforms hand-painted paper into an interlocking, three-dimensional chain bound with red and white yarn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than illustrating a literal story, the narrative here lives in the materiality itself\u2014in the contrast between rich, expressive brushwork and the vulnerability of torn, deckled paper edges. Each loop is assembled and knotted by hand, turning the physical acts of breaking apart and stitching back together into the core language of the sculpture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still evolving in the studio, and excited to see how the form continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
