Box Works These twelve box works continues my consideration of the photograph as object and the elusive qualities of the natural world. They invite us to enter a space where abstraction, landscape and nature share space. My exploration of folding and constructing new images in three-dimensions creates new ways to observe and experience shifts and changes in the natural world. The constructions are made with rice papers in the shapes of pentagonal dipyramids, octahedrons, square trapezohedrons and cuboctahedrons.
"I love this work for all of the languages it is speaking and for the obvious love of the craft on display. In a contemporary context, your work is profoundly emotional, lighter than air, moisture laden, and ironically, reconstructed and housed in geometric form. For me, the work explores the vulnerability of our environmental existence and the abstracted concept of archiving little preserved and contained pieces of it that are "suitable for framing"... a natural history of inevitable change... in nature as well as life. Denis Roussel would have loved this work I think. For me the work is precious and sad in the same moment. " Juror Christopher James
