ARTIST STATEMENT
My Paper Obsession is the creative result of my research into paper projects to do with my students. While putting together samples I discovered that rolling paper, creating tubes and rounds was very cathartic and also a way to continue to be creative when I could not work outside carving stone.
I created armatures for my paper pieces with cardboard, papier mache or a premade mask or a styrofoam head to provide a basic structural surface to create a 3-D quality with the paper.
These pieces represent the concepts that don't register well with stone. The paper pieces have their own ethereal personalities that are beyond figurative and are abstract in their own way.
