A new painted construction in progress ‘The Fold

A new painted construction in progress ‘The Fold VII’ 🌑🌱🌝

The overlap and edges of topographies have always fascinated me. In my painted constructions I use folded and stacked materials to destabilize the grid. The porcelain grid is supported and suspended by a soft painted linen form just trying to hold it all together.

The universe is in the process of folding and unfolding, where the inside grows from the outside. There are a variety of folds, the fold of our own material, our bodies—the folding of time or memory.
