While building Contingent, I had in mind the changeover between seasons. Spring buds push through last year’s duff and there’s a contrast of color, bright against muted. To mimic evidence of this transition, elements of my recent artwork - encaustic-infused paper shaped int sculptural forms (Moult) along with colorful 3D hand sewn seeds (Disperse) - are regenerated into a new installation. In Contigent, the semi-transparent paper wraps around and protects a collection of the seeds before they are ready to burst forth. Below the seedpod, remnants pile up on the floor as a reminder of the previous season. These flower-like skeletons are made up of leftover Duralar sheets from making the original seeds, recycling the material into a new purpose.
