New Series “Sculpture and Light”

I had some old wire structures and a box of fabric scraps. Textiles and apparel have a huge environmental impact and our industry’s current model is unsustainable.We are making more and more stuff. Upcycling and re-purposing clothing has peeked my interest. In this case I thought I would use my scraps of fabric to build texture. Fabric builds layers in a different form than paper. It’s softer yet strong. Using white allows the light to filter through the pieces. It’s luminosity inviting, yet leftovers and decay evoke nostalgia. I love the narrative and the story captured between the layers.

I will soon take these conical forms, secured them and stacked them into a vertical sculpture.
