I create cut paper designs influenced by the repetition of shape and form found in nature. Think of the intricate lines of a spider’s web, the formation of petals radiating from the center of a flower, or ripples on the surface of still water—all are mathematical structures given form. The box hints at the mysteries of the universe we have yet to decipher through math and science, and gives the observer an intimate view into organic forms left open to interpretation. Through the lens of my artistic practice I have lost the intimidation I once felt around the subjects of math and science. With nature as my guide the wonders of the universe become mine to unlock.
