Fabric wrapping on found wire

I construct surfaces or forms that reflect and emulate the beauty and mystery of nature or natural phenomena, akin to the idea of biomimicry. I love nature’s precise order which combines with its captivating dishevelment (think tangled vines or water rushing over jagged rocks). Observations of this energy and freedom direct my creative process.

For this work, I wrapped wire fencing with cloth, a systematic process which I then altered by expressive crushing and crinkling, finally painting multiple layers of acrylics and finally scumbling the surface to create a bark-like appearance.
