The folded series: a group of paper, origamiesque work, critiqued:
Intrigue
Simplicity
Sculptural
Quirkiness
An object interrupting its own form
Spectatorial gaze unfettered by any barrier
Eye’s focus denied a single point of stability
Folded form and colours hinting at the metallic
What’s apparent subtly alters as the viewer’s perspective shifts
A piece is multiply repeatable but artist’s hand delivers slight variations
Essential drive; to reconstruct a complete face from the fragments offered
Practicality is the downside of this piece. Its final form is unfixed, shifting at each installation, and varying with exhibition space conditions. Such instability is exciting but also potentially impractical in the long-term. Box framing is an option but fixing the piece down in this way erodes some of its current strengths.
