Groundless II

2015

MDF fiberboard, acrylic carvings, acrylic paint, 40’ x 10’ x 5”

Grand Rapids, MI

This project was inspired by the views of sunset over the Mississippi River in Memphis and Grand Rapids. I made a collage from photographs of clouds and the sky at sunset. Patterns for carvings were then designed over the collage. Over one hundred pieces used in the collage were traced on MDF boards, cut out, painted and assembled in layers to make a 3D collage. Pieces of screen carvings were assembled to form the cloud like shapes that were juxtaposed with the painted shapes.
