Motivated by my commitment to the preservation of nature, this, “Celebration of Life” series incorporates recycled paper from old sewing pattern paper, grocery bags, found paper, catalog paper in collage form. I distressed, stenciled, monoprinted and manipulated the paper surfaces, highlighting the struggle between consumption and nature and our need to reduce waste globally. Nature vs technology, written text vs printed text, circles vs lines, hard edges vs soft edges, defined pattern vs the loose paint application. Uncontrolled marks disrupt structural pattern.
The neutral, earthy color palette provides a beacon of hope, embracing a collective approach to environmental preservation. The collection celebrates the paper bags’ journey from tree to canvas.
