MY CRUMPLED PAPER PAINTINGS AND SCULPTURES EVOLVED FROM TRYING SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND A DETERMINATION TO NOT HOLD EACH PIECE OF ART AS PRECIOUS. BY CUTTING UP PAINTINGS, I AM ABLE TO RE-ASSEMBLE THEM AS 3-DIMENSIONAL PIECES. IN DOING SO, THE REVERSE SIDES OF THE PAPER ARE REVEALED, ENABLING A SURFACE FOR A SOLID REST COLOR TO CONTRAST WITH MORE ACTIVATED SURFACE. THESE 3-D PAINTINGS TAKE ON A DIFFERENT LIFE AS STAND-ALONE SCULPTURES OR AS WALL RELIEFS.
