Community
It's 36 x 48 inches, created with hand sculpted (carved and burned) yupo paper, alcohol inks and pins on canvas.
To make this style of art, I start off creating my alcohol ink abstracts on yupo paper, just like I always do. I then carve out holes and burn the edges using a soldering iron - a tool that has been in my house since my early engineering days. I then arrange these pieces to form exquisite patterns using pins, play with light and shadow to convey messages of community and collaboration through my art.
Let’s support each other in a nurturing community. Let’s live fully with purpose and a bright light within us. Let’s support each other in moments of weakness and cheer when we are brave and strong. Let’s cry but also laugh fully and even capture this creatively. Let’s fill our hearts and lives with adventure, art and love. Let’s bring about connection, together.
