Taking a two-pronged
approach toward the use of paper, this exhibition brings together works
that are composed of re-purposed materials, applied in a rhythmic and
serial manner. On one hand the works share the choice of materials and
on the other hand introduces a shared esthetic. In transforming the
properties of the material the artists are employing a sculptural and/or
reductive approach to the possibilities of working with paper.
By
cutting, folding, weaving, bending, collage-ing and sewing these
artists explore the diverse properties and applications of paper while
moving away from utilizing it’s illusionistic aspects. The manifold
possibilities of paper, combined with its humble nature, make it the
preferred material for a democratic and direct approach as an artist
medium.
