Details
The background
looks wrinkly while tightly stretched. Warm and cool tones are sprayed over a lightweight fabric with woven stripes, creating an ethereal space.
The fold
The double-sided canvas covering it is raw on one side and primed on the other. Color application ranges from expressive direct brushing to remote masking, spraying, monotyping, and pressing.
The cut
The canvas is thick so the cut edges present a strong white line. The hand stitches are visible upon closer approach.

The painting cutout series combines the materiality of Support/Surfaces with the exuberance of Pattern and Decoration while sharing the radical constraints of Minimal Art.
The works are ambiguous and simultaneously political statements, bold paintings, decorative ornamentations, textile, and craft works.
They are tactile and abstract while including sometimes represented subjects.
A double-sided painting is folded, cut, unfolded twice, then stitched to another.
The folds expose what lies behind them. The stitches are a visible and healing way to assemble the parts, inviting the possibility of restoring the painting to its original state.
The series explores the interaction of these surfaces. It creates a trustworthy space where nothing gets discarded or forgotten.
By utilizing every part, I aim to make more with less and reconcile the apparent contradictions between positive and negative shapes, figuration and abstraction, freedom and constraints, one and another, past, present, and future.
The cuts follow a sustainable system that generates zero waste in a continuous piece.
