About this artwork
In the Modern Structures series, the artist leans on modern and midcentury architecture. She draws from her background in drafting and plays with linework and shapes to design her own structures. This series is an extension of her rooftop series that she is most notably known for. Like her cityscapes there is an outward movement of the subject matter that allows the artwork to feel as if it were extending beyond the edges of the canvas. The artwork…
is done with handmade paper, ink made of pine soot and watercolors. The handmade paper has silk, cotton, woodchips and mulberry pressed into the pulp. The ancient process of preparing the artwork for framing is similar to mounting scrolls. Wheat paste is applied to the back side of the artwork and layers of paper applied until it reaches the ideal resilience. This method of preparing works on paper dates back 2 thousand years and can only be done by a handful of artisans in the US. The artwork is coated with a UV protectant varnish.
