I appreciate the beauty in the shapes formed by the flattened, recycled cardboard boxes. Unfolding that earthy brown, three-dimensional material into two dimensions reminds me of sewing, only in reverse. My mom taught me to sew when I was in elementary school. In sewing, a pattern is used over fabric, which is then cut and stitched, tucked, or folded to create a garment – a transformation from two dimensions to three. In my recent work, I use flattened, recycled boxes as patterns, creating compositions of overlapping shapes with gaps between them forming lines. I then strive for asymmetrically balanced compositions by the placement of elements and color.

Her investigation uses ordinary objects such as flattened, recycled boxes as patterns, layering arrangements with a network of lines and shapes. She constructs asymmetrical compositions through the placement, scale, and hue of components, resulting in work that resembles quilts, circuitry, or maps.
