Snippets of Time

Snippets of Time

The spontaneous beauty of scraps accumulating on my work table charmed me more than once and this piece was created in a spirit of playfulness. I could not resist the colorful bits landing together and making festive compositions of their own accord, so I committed to the idea of saving my snips and using them on a larger scale. I layered the canvas for the sheer fun of it, without any type of formal structure. It was a liberating way to create and a notable departure from the usual degree of precision in my work. I found I would add to the canvas as a way to unwind or when I needed a quick creative outlet. Each new addition served as a mini-record of another project’s progress and aligned with my minimal waste philosophy. This work is all about celebrating the unexpected moments of joy peppered throughout our day.
