This series is inspired by the way the urban environment becomes a canvas for the natural world. The collection reinterprets wrapped buildings under construction. Though building wrap may seem insignificant to the casual observer, its presence indicates that a meaningful and substantial process is taking place. The study is an exploration of surface quality and material limits of traditional materials, utilizing repetitive patterns to emphasize and give new perspective to the ripped openings commonly seen in building wrap. The work presents itself as a lighthearted contradiction. A single cut or hole in a garment can be perceived as an imperfection or weakness in a material or its construction. However, the cut marks in these works collectively establish the balance and strength of each piece. The sculpted patterns create a lively shadow play, evoking falling leaves in autumn, the phases of the moon, or wings in flight across a blue sky, acknowledging that all of these seemingly insignificant occurrences are part of something much larger.
