Liquid Paintings

Mixed media painting that repurposes Japanese origami paper and patterns into a tapestry, with a mylar cutout of a folded origami mythical beast, Godzilla.

The exploration of the materials, Mylar and rice paper, including a mobile, as painting mediums.

The paper balloon lanterns on a Mylar canvas are modified in texture and volume, such as crumpled, bruised, hung, or torn, and weighed, as some are filled with ammunition bullets, foam, plastic, or air, while a fan is blowing, creating, producing moveable parts to the fluid surface of the Mylar.

This whimsical portrait is inspired by packaging materials. The cartoonish logo or icon of a child is reminiscent of youth, drawing attention and sympathy toward the consumer product. The transparent vinyl allows viewers to see through the surface canvas into at the actual wood structure of the frame and the craft and labor behind of making the art piece.

Origami paper folds is a fascinating interplay between two-dimensional surfaces or images and three-dimensional builds, or collapse.

Inspired by the preservation of natural botanicals and golf courses.
