Tissue Pieces

Tissue Pieces

The art is actually sewn onto old dress pattern paper. For those that never learned to sew, it has a similar texture and thickness to crepe paper. Needless to say, these needed to be handled very delicately as to not tear. These pieces are sewn onto a plexi-glass layer that is suspended between the front and the back of the frame. To the viewer, it looks as though the art is floating and created a unique shadowing effect.
