This sculpture is a reaction to both my artist's pieces. My mountain paper sculpture explores the relationship between landscape, fragility, and human work, drawing inspiration from the work of Adriane Colburn and Aymni Sibata. Like Colburn, whose intricate cut-paper installations show layered depictions of paper work. The paper medium shows how light objects can gain weight. I also drew from Sibata’s sensitivity to texture, materiality, and hand-constructed forms; her approach encouraged me to think about how each fold, cut, and contour can communicate movement within the landscape. Through combining these influences, my sculpture reflects the tension between permanence and impermanence in natural environments. I incorporated a Japanese Fable about a dying tree to show this concept, one shared with me by my grandmother
Two Images that inspired work
Adriane Colburn
"My installations are extracted from the data, images and video I have collected while participating in scientific expeditions to remote, wild places such as the arctic and amazon. The work reflects on these far-flung environments and the overall state of nature in an age where few stones remain unturned by man. I am particularly interested in romanticized notions of wilderness, the alteration of nature by industry and climate change and the relationships between scientific exploration and exploitation. In participating in these expeditions and generating work from the aftermath, I am reckoning with how our thirst to understand and visualize a landscape can irrevocably disrupt it.

This work encapsulates the essence of finding your own journey. The artist layered a variety of works onto each other to create dimension. This in turn made a siloute of a landscape
