Abstract  Bas-Reliefs Us


 

    The art of paper casting is hardly new with the Chinese having invented it more than a thousand years ago.   It is a media I have found to be ideal for casting my bas-relief sculptures as the purity of the white linen paper both underlines and accentuates the essence of my design concepts.  

In my mind, sculpture is ultimately about form and texture.  By creating work with cast paper I can incorporate an infinite variety of shapes, forms and textures into my sculpture that allow for the unbridled expression of power, movement and emotion. 

I find that the ethereal qualities of cast paper sculpture are endlessly fascinating to explore.  I love creating three dimensional surfaces that can both enliven light and be made so as to appear to float or hover when installed in place. 

One could say that my style defies description.  I can and love to create cast paper sculpture in a variety of styles ranging from realism to the abstract.  

Please enjoy your tour.
