Paper Constructs

Paper Constructs is an extension of activities that have come before in other series. In many cases, it is the “leftovers” used to build new, temporary structures collapsing after being photographed. It is the pandemonium of paper and animation creating singular imagery. Everything on the worktable is transitory; it flutters and falls, gets taped together, cut and torn, pasted, wrinkled, or added to other material unencumbered, then disappears. Some of the paper constructs have a lightness whereas others are treated differently and head into darker tones. Earlier deconstructions allow new-sprung objects to be born. Photography makes a construct seem permanent, but it is elusive and only truly exists for the few moments of its capture.
