paper sculpture 26'' x 10'' x 10''
“Iuse paper to find new forms of expression through complex modular paper fold- ing. Paper allows me to create abstract direct sculpture. I may utilize as many
as 6,500 pieces of folded archival color paper bonded with Ph-neutral glue to render my concepts. Each paper unit is used as a point on a plane. The unit is created from a small cut rectangular piece of archival colored index weight paper, folded nine times, glued, and linked to another. My style reveals the dynamic lines and abstracted struc- ture of various organic forms which reflect the environment. Ocean, plant, and bird life are recurrent themes in my artwork. Creating abstract direct sculpture from flat paper is a revealing challenge which enhances my search for beautiful forms.”
