Proposal

Lately Laminar was created out of paper, with a wire understructure supported by a wooden base. This paper was cut, folded, and glued together to create the entire piece.

Lately Laminar is comprised of multiple leaf-like paper forms, which slowly climb and move in an arc motion to create the form. This non-objective piece aims to represent a slow, methodical progression. For this piece, I was inspired by the Japanese art of Bonsai, the practice of slowly shaping, or moving, a tree to fit a specific artistic design. I also wanted to emphasize unity by creating a large quantity of the same shape and then combining those shapes into one piece. Lately Laminar catches the eye with its harsh sense of line but leads the eyes around the whole piece through its many leaflets.
