My work is crafted from paper and charcoal. The paper is formed using a historic technique called quilling and adapting its highly stylized visual effect. In contrast to this, the charcoal is a representation of the real earth- loose, messy, unshaped, formed through fire. Charcoal is known for its ability to absorb and purify the air around it. Here, the charcoal appears to obscure and destroy an image of ornamentation, while acting as a grounded and healing physical presence.
