Patrice Tullai

I think of my work as stop photos from a kaleidoscopic children’s movie. Color, line, shape and sound accentuate emotions I have with the subject. They allow me to put my hand on something which is not tangible. I am ever reaching to create an emotional representation of the spirit which we call life. The objects I make are simply playing cards for which we are able to share our thoughts and emotions. Art is fragile yet concrete, stronger than words and able to pierce beyond that which cannot be said
