Outdoors

Working “outside the box” — not only outside the frame but also outside the box of gallery walls — offers lots of opportunities to play with space and different materials. Some materials are made to be outdoors, others test time and the elements. I am inspired by artists Christo, Andy Goldsworthy and Chakaia Booker.
