Self-Referential is a material and process-based body of work. Beginning with a maximalist fiber assemblage sculpture; created from scrap wood, steel wire, thrifted clothing, and industrially produced products typically found in craft stores such as sequins and beads. The form of the assemblage sculpture is abstract, loosely based on patterns in nature – an intuitive response to material. The fiber assemblage sculpture informs an edition of ten laser-cut paper collages, designed in Adobe Illustrator and layered variations of cardstock. Using a variety of cardstock colors and styles, playing with glitter paper, flat paper, and metallic paper; an ongoing experiment to find the perfect combination of colors.
