Dangerous Ideas
How the art was made.
Paper Works.
Dangerous Ideas challenge your senses. The works on paper demonstrate their properties.
Started in 2017, the images are a result of sunlight hitting paper. The areas exposed get darker, creating contrast. Contrast under control allows me to make images.
They allow me to present familiar material—paper—in an unfamiliar way.
