Woven Shapes

Monotype Series, each 13x10 inches, 2025
 

In the underlying images, an installation of hexagonal woven cardboard panels built through a series of participatory workshops is assembled into various forms with the cardboard weavers. Corrugated cardboard boxes were first introduced in the 1870s and, for the past 150 years, have become an introductory building toy for children who project new spaces and potential onto them. Weaving cardboard panels to create temporary architectures, the shapes of the structure and surrounding landscape shift through human intervention, wind, sun, and tidal waves. The footage is then broken into individual frames, printed on paper, and used as the starting point for monotype printing, documented each time through the press in the making of a stop motion film.
