about the work
These works are made by cutting, layering, and sewing black nylon tulle onto a white ground, so that the image is wholly created by overlapping layers of tulle and aligned voids.
Because of the interplay of light and shadow with a material that is itself very like a shadow and because of the blurring and Moiré effects produced by the layers of screen-like fabric, the images create a number of paradoxical perceptual effects, making them very difficult to photograph.
This video helps give a better sense of what the works are, what they look like in person, and shows how the works are made.
