‘HAVOC was created in the middle of an ice storm in Pembroke, North Carolina. Using the drawing side of the cut paper pieces, it’s title reflects the weather outside, the shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and many others, and the chaos of our current political and environmental moment.’
Part of the Pushing Paper Exhibition, January 8 - February 14, 2011, Curated by Carla Rokes at The A.D. Gallery, TheUniversity of North Carolina at Pembroke, PO Box 1510, Pembroke, NC 28372. Text copied from http://miapearlman.com/CUT_PAPER/cut_paper.html
Although I prefer more functional art pieces (hence my choice to go into design rather than fine art!) this is a beautiful piece. It reminds me of how Spiderman’s web sticks to whichever surfaces it is propelled at.
The piece seems to have a personality of its own, beautifully cut, artfully composed and bold, seeming to claim the walls it has been posed upon.
Like her other work, HAVOC is cut out of white paper, the tones and shadows are made by the lights shone through the layers of the piece, casting shadows and reflecting the light onto other surfaces.
