We wove straps of overbeaten abaca and then cut the weavings into 2” x 3” pieces for the 2019 Swatch Swap book.

We have made several of these bamboo and abaca structures and we’re still learning.

Our working method is discontinuous

We make paper objects that we find visually alluring, but seldom think of them as sculpture.

Crumple some copper sheeting with a rubber mallet and set it on edge.

The next step for our coil evolution - making them heftier and more resilient to studio and composing wear and tear.

Up to now, the coils have stayed on one plane, fabricated and dried on a flat table top; however, when we used them in compositions, we liked that when they were under load they lost their flatness and twisted into 3 dimensions.

Carving grooves in pink insulation foam board to cast coil designs seems clever, but impractical.

We use a lot of hidden wire, velcro, tape and nails to attach our paper objects to each other, but we don't like hiding things; we prefer making connectors part of the work.
