In intricately cut collages flowers, foliage, and crown-like adornments encompass anonymous portraits. Painted floral motifs on carefully torn pieces of paper paired with slats of wood appear like lath exposed beneath ornate wallpaper. Providing a backdrop for the elegant silhouettes, layers of intricately cut paper evoke strength and vulnerability in elegant collages. Elaborate designs of the figures’ headdresses suggest wrought iron with delicate strands of plants or ribbon partially obscuring their faces. In series Paper Thin, explores myriad techniques for working with the ubiquitous material.

Inspired to examine relationships between surface, pattern, and volume, how medium can be both fragile and solid, rigid yet flexible. That the series evokes “dualities of strength and vulnerability. As stark black fences crown the regal female figures, but these barriers are, in the end, only paper thin.”

In the Ethereal Portraits

Obscured faces peek through tangles of leaves and stems in the ethereal portraits. Mixed-media collages layer textured graphite gradients and mesh-like cuttings into splintered depictions of subjects. “Fragmentary’ is one word. That I return to again and again because I think portraiture is an act of catching glimmers of a person.”   “I like the idea of not being able to see everything. Having multiple layers partially conceals but the patterns of foliage, (which) also act like a kind of shelter.”

For each work, first illustrates a single figure. The subjects shown here are models Yuka Mannami and Hoyeon Jung. Then digitally draws a corresponding botanical pattern. Those motifs are cut with the help of a Silhouette Cameo machine before they’re built up sheet by sheet. Graceful and at times surreal, resulting portraits portray fractions of faces and hands that are duplicated or filtered through colorful webs.
