CONTINUA, 2021-2023

Potential Wearables


In Continua, the realms of body, architecture, and landscape are collapsed into porous paper skins. The skin continua are on a shapeshifting quest through the poetics and politics of embodiment, where forms are codependent, unsettled, and dynamic. Each piece in this series is an undulating composition of interconnected geometric units, and comes in one of three sizes - specimen, pelt, blanket - ranging from cellular sample to potential wearable to collective membrane for our species. Rooted in the craft and material specificity of hand papermaking, the work comes alive through movement imagined and performed.
