I shared the backlit rear view of this piece at the end of last week, and now here is the front. I’ve been making variations of this style of work a few times over the last few years, but this is the most perfect and largest version to date.

The first photo above was taken while the work was still in-progress, and the last photo in this post is the completed version. You can see refinement in the completed shape because I was working towards a circle, which is about 13 inches in diameter.

I think of creating these pieces as an act of meditation, but there is something about looking at one that is meditative for the viewer. Even though I’ve made pieces like this several times I think there is more to explore, so I know I’ll be making more in the future.

I finished the epically long tyvek paper cut piece a few weeks back and forgot to share it here on the blog. Considering how long this thing is (7 feet by 18 inches) it didn’t take me much time at all to complete. When I started I thought cutting it would consume the entire month of January, but I was done in about two weeks.

I need to take a proper photo of this work but it’s tricky to fit it all in the frame. My next step is figuring out how this will hang because I want space between it and the wall so it casts beautiful shadows.

Remember those cut paper cubes I made for Voice From Another Room at Hot Art Wet City last year? I’ve always been meaning to return to them and make more. I had six at the time, but one sold, so I decided to make five more for an installation of an even ten.

Here are three of them freshly cut and waiting to be scored, folded, and glued together.

I love the ten of them together, and the wonderful shadows they cast. Now I need to figure out exactly how I want to arrange and have them displayed for my upcoming show in Halifax. More details to follow on this. I’m just waiting final confirmation on the show title.
