Crumples
Work in progress Crumpling paper combines my interest in folds with a study John Cage's ideas of randomness in the creation of art. Various sizes of thin paper are crumpled quickly. The resulting crumple is photographed at a very high resolution so that the images can be printed as illustrations in books or as large photographic installations (as large as 40 x 60 inches). Some of the crumples are subsequently destroyed when they are cross-sectioned or dissected. (see Crumple 19 below) This work with crumples is in its infancy and its future is open for furthur discovery. |

Crumple 19 from the top
This crumple has been treated as an object of study and has, therefore, been photographed from the top, the bottom, and the side; it has also been cut in half (cross-sectioned) and dissected. |
