Water Series<br />
During my art residency at <strong>Arteles</strong>, I created a body of work<br />
based on the shapes and lines of water. I created small<br />
scale sculptures, contemporary jewelry, line drawings and<br />
polaroids. The polaroid camera I used to capture images<br />
of water while exploring the Finnish countryside either on<br />
boat or by foot. The images I used as my source materials to<br />
create the series of water.<br />
Primarily, I used hand dyed indigo fabrics, gel medium,<br />
thread and steel mesh to create line, texture and volumetric<br />
forms. Once the fabric components were completed, I sewed<br />
them together and attached them to already fabricated silver<br />
components I made. In addition, I also explored layering,<br />
embroidering and sewing together felt, silk and cotton<br />
fabric. Afterwards I cut away layers of the fabric to expose<br />
the colors and textures beneath to represent the forms and<br />
shapes of water.<br />
Lastly, I created a small modular sculpture made from<br />
hydraulic pressed silver bowls that I pierced and formed. One<br />
form is embossed with an etched image of water, pierced<br />
and oxidized using boiled egg yolks. While another form is<br />
holding translucent white quartz I found alongside the road<br />
on my daily walks to the nearby lake. I am grateful for the<br />
space and time spent at <strong>Arteles</strong> developing this long awaited<br />
body of work.
