The COFA Annual 2013



Resume

The imaginative, perceptions of my ‘natural’ environment and intuitive response to textiles and found urban-derived materials inspire me to merge contrasting aesthetic properties in unanticipated ways. This manifests in the amalgamation of both natural and artificial aesthetic identities, as a comment upon the nature/culture existential dualism. Narrative interpretation is encouraged.

-Nature is portrayed as the furry, bulbous, primal, creative, adaptive, and texturally animate.

-Artifice is represented as the constructed, linear, geometric and static.

Sculpturally melded together to form collective object-beings these juxtaposed characteristics create a sense of the uncanny that is playfully intriguing, evocative and unfamiliarly familiar.
