Limbo
2024
Cotton rag fiber pulp
L11″ x W15″ x H7″
Artist Statement
Limbo serves as a visual metaphor for being unable to move—stuck
between the pages of a book or at a critical juncture in life. It’s about being in a position where one cannot move forward or backward, caught in a state of suspension. Like a fly trapped in ointment, one is ensnared, unable to stay or let go.
The artwork is crafted from cotton rag fibre pulp, cast and constructed into its final form. The book form is created by casting in a mould, with gum-like details added later -meticulously built-up layer by layer, supported by internal threads. The cover is made from pigmented handmade paper crafted from cotton rag.
