Artist Statement
With “Shadows: Spanish Tile,” I want to capture the warmth radiating from the clay roofs of Los Angeles’ classic architecture. Like Spanish tiles, I see the rippled forms casting shadows to create cool and comfortable shade on sunny California days.
I use origami-inspired paper folding to create sculptures that are geometric and precise, yet organic and fluid. When I begin a piece, I reference its inspirational object to guide the overall shape, but I let the path develop organically. Each element starts with the same movement, one simple fold, repeated over and over to build peaks, valleys, and shadows.
To me, this speaks to nature’s formulaic building blocks; the same molecular elements combining in different ways to produce infinitely unique structures and organisms.
