Fabrications

Fabrications is a series of sculptures made by assembling strips of cast paper, which have been pulled apart and woven with rolled newspaper, corrugated cardboard, burnt edged papers, wallpapers and wax.  Material and form are deconstructed and then reconstructed in a new context to suggest both the fabric of a person's life, woven from diverse sources, and the fabrication of reality continually spun by the media.

Hanging on the wall, they are like garments that offer protection and a way of weaving together remnants of experience that are always slipping from our grasp.

The ambiguity of news, the restructuring of events as well as restructuring the truth is intrinsic in this work. The insertion of texts from newspapers and magazines allude to ubiquitous media spin and myths, woven directly into the fabric of the sculptures.
