Artist Statement

flipbooks
and
cutting paper
combining the two
and then
extending the paper beyond the cover
adding a second
and then
a third book
making shapes out of multiple books
and then
adding paper strips
both straight
and very acute triangles
and then
adding more books
making bigger shapes
not always by connecting the books
and then
adding gatherings of tiny pieces of paper
made from
thousands of cuts
some making very small triangles
others very long
and then
moving them off the pedestal
and onto the wall
and then
the ceiling
and then
by making many the same
they fill a wall
or
a room
