EtheReality

There is a beautiful tension in time. That which was will always be to a certain extent, though it is never the exact same at any two points in its existence. Bodies hold this same tension in their forms with an underlying strength and rigidity encased in a shell that quickly withers and erodes away.
With EtheReality, I worked with the balance between construction and natural deconstruction. The network of threads is an incredibly strong support system for the Abaca paper that I pulled and draped across. The paper was originally set in place while it was still wet so as to be able to embrace the form of the frame. Though it was set in place seamlessly, as it dried, it pulled apart to create gaping holes as though this structure that was built in a little more than a day had been here for countless years.
