PLASTER CANVAS

I have identified building materials as the most effective media to translate the powerful ongoing exchanges I am fortunate to have with displaced people in Berlin. I use canvas in non-traditional ways – soaking it in plaster, evoking remnants of buildings and first-aid bandages – working with canvas as sculpture, rather than a substrate for painting.
