This series consists of a series of abstract objects composed of steel screening, foam, fabric, beeswax, string, pine needles and other recycled organic materials.

​

These works allow for visual exploration and sensation through form, color, texture, and movement. A simple form such as the line is given identity in thread, string or rope, held in place and made organic with beeswax. String is typically seen as a practical item used to assist in life’s many daily necessary functions. But I  see it as similar to line in drawing, rather than as a purely functional item. It has infinite possibilities and can be shaped into multifaceted entities. Combining string with the beeswax and fabric I am able to create abstract forms that engage the viewer both in a visual and tactile manner.

 

The natural materials of pine needles, seeds, and seed pods combined with the wax create a sense of the living as well as a touch of animation. This series seeks to bring out these forms in combinations that call attention to both the humanly constructed and the natural world.
