Altered Book - perforated aluminum, shredded book pages
|
"How I Feel" was accepted into the 30th International Show; Innovations by the Society of Experimental Artists.
The exhibit will run September 6 through October 24, 2021 at Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island, Michigan.
"How I Feel" also won Best of Show at the national call for art "Unbound - The Chico Art Center. And first place in the Marinwood Art Show.
Transformation of a Book
The purpose is to create a multi-sensory experience for the viewer.
The structure is perforated aluminum that I hand formed. I shredded color plates from a book to use as my pallet to create the imagery. Using an exacto knife I pressed the shredded pieces into the form. This is similar to needle-pointing but I use a blade instead of a needle and left the ends free. This meditative process in selecting each shred is liken to making the next move in playing chess.
