I've been working on reintegrating the relief forms into my practice. Earlier this semester, I expressed a desire to use these works as an opportunity to map specific places and memories. This project has also evolved to document changes in the landscape over time. There have been significant changes in the construction and content of these forms.
1. Instead of using several layers of papier-mâché strips over the cardboard, I added one layer of strips and sculpted papier-mâché clay on top. With this method, I'm able to increase the level of detail and sculpt a gradually sloping form.
2. Instead of painting and embellishing the forms, I have created collages using archival and original photographs to transfer onto the surface. Although a couple of the collages are finished, I am still working on building up and smoothing the surface of the forms. This work is still in progress.
