Wallpaper is a decorative medium that communicates both visual and psychological messages. My work is inspired by research of traditional and contemporary wallpaper. I create sculptural wall assemblages using shredded paper and raw wool, which are taken out of their ordinary contexts and introduced into new environments. In my attempt to understand the functions of wallcoverings, my site-specific art explores the dichotomy between spontaneity and structure, as well as permanence and impermanence. I aspire to create a visual experience that forms a dialogue between the object and the viewer. Irregular patterns of light, shadow, and texture produce very natural, yet unexpected qualities to the work. I make art that creates feelings of comfort and familiarity, yet also challenges traditional ideas of what decorative wall surfaces should resemble. The end result is an embellished surface that questions the language of wallcoverings. |
