In my cardboard painting series, I begin the process by habitually collecting cardboard found on the streets of my community. I find cardboard to posses beauty that is often overlooked. Once, the gluing process is completed, I use my power tools to deconstruct and disfigure the form. Deliberate cuts, tears, and slices are made to the surface with the ultimate goal being to develop a history that capsulizes and uncovers the materials physicality. The work is inspired by the idea of giving second chances. These materials were disposed of and by giving them a second chance to exist allows empowers the material and its historical societal content. Red is such a powerful color that I hope the painting emotes to the viewers while enhancing their space with beauty and elegance.
