TECHNIQUE
My artwork is brought to life through a meticulous, multi-step process that emphasizes depth, color, and texture. I begin by layering vivid images, each printed on archival photo paper to ensure longevity and vibrancy. Every image is carefully cut by hand, allowing for precision and attention to detail. Once cut, the fragments are sculpted, crimped, and folded using a diverse array of tools, which creates dynamic textures and forms throughout the piece.
The hand-cut pieces are layered with care until the desired depth and detail are achieved. This method results in artwork distinguished by a striking three-dimensional quality that animates each image, giving viewers a sense of vibrancy and life.
