Textiles and Paper


For several years now I have been using paper to create textile forms and textiles  to create sculptural forms.  The above photo is a detail of a blouse constructed on a sewing machine using tissue paper.  Below is a detail of sculptural silk forms that I constructed for an installation a few years ago.  

I have been working with photography, drawing and painting for the artworks exhibited so far in the Louisiana Portrait Project exhibits.  I am working now on some sculptural pieces that will be exhibited in 2017.   

Some of these pieces will be made using textiles and others will be cast with plaster or clay.  I usually let the idea dictate the form that a piece will take.  I am looking forward to a period of experimentation with some new ideas and direction.
