Collection (Fibrous Waximus)
Collection (Fibrous Waximus) explores the realm of art as creation and scientific collection.
Fibrous Waximus is displayed like a insect collection by the T-pins which links the fiber world and the world of science.
The shadows of the piece are sometimes more substantial than the piece itself and change as the viewer moves around the piece and the collection. Each interact with the neighboring piece either with form or shadow to create an interactive community.
This exploration is continued in Fibrous Waximus II and III, in progress.
Medium: Embroidery floss hand-waxed with encaustic (pigmented beeswax and damar resin) paint and then hand shaped, and hung on t-pins directly into the wall.
Dimensions: Dimensions variable
