Escaping the Norm
Wire, Fabric & Wax
Dimensions Vary
2013

Cellular forms and the complexity of skin layers inspire my piece. I am fascinated by the interiors of cells and the fluidity of the body. The build up of wax and paint on the fabric create a protective dermis for the wire structure.  My color selection is bold, yet practical in relation to the natural interiors of cells.  I intended to express the frequent imperfection of skin cells through the textures I formed. These imperfections may be a result of aging, disease or daily life.  The organic nature of my cellular chains interacts well in the garden environment, and the vivid colors allow the form to have a known presence.
