The third project in our wood + paper + box printmaking collaboration is (un)fold - an exploration of both the act of folding and unfolding.
Katie Baldwin, Yoonmi Nam and I each made 6 pieces, in an edition of 8. Here are my artworks:
clockwise from top left: perfume, for the most beautiful, le petit jardin, unfurled, secret garden, and hidden message.
I explored the physical nature of folding/unfolding, but also looked at stories and how they unfold, and to our relationships with nature, as well as each other.
Each piece has its own enclosure, and you can see that it’s a pretty small edition in the photo on the left.
Here are my pieces all together. I call this my Pocket Garden series. Each of the artworks can be folded down small and flat, for easy carrying (in your pocket!) but when opened up, has 3-dimensional elements that create a miniature garden.
This project will be exhibited at the Beach Museum in Manhattan Kansas later this year.
