Thin Lines is a series of low-relief handmade paper made from pulped, discarded, colored bedsheets and t-shirts. The colors used in this project directly result from mixing the different colored fabrics. No additional pigments or dyes are added. The diagram in the piece, 9 points connecting to 9 points, is based on Athanasius Kircher's 1669 diagram, Ars magna sciendi, representing the broad range of interdisciplinary scientific questions. This body of work considers the complexities of human interconnectivity by recreating an altered and irregular version of this diagram with materials that lay closest to our skin. This piece was created during an artist residency at Creativity Explored.
