Artwork
Ordinary things and materials inspire me in different ways. I can pick up any piece of material and transform it, elevating it into an artwork. Such as corrugated cardboard, and paper.
When I was living in Los Angeles, California, my apartment had no room for stained glass work. So, paper became my medium of choice: corrugated cardboard and photographs to create two different collections, Ode to Corrugated Cardboard and my photomontage.
Corrugated cardboard is readily and cheaply available at bulk in the USA. Since I could be inspired by anything and everything, cardboard itself interested me and so I spent the better part of a summer going crazy with some cardboard and a hot glue gun.
The results were rather surprising and resulted in two series within itself: Art in a box and the
more sculptural, three-dimensional pieces.
Pastel colors (oil, chalk, and/or a combination of both), along with different foils (gold, copper, aluminium) to produce this series. These were a series of exercises in color.
