These works are reworked second hand objects. I love the idea of upcycling, and I think she has pulled it off very well. These works are so beautiful. The depth created by cutting away parts of the plate and layering is so interesting, and I love that the function of the object is compromised by this process. I also love the color palette she sticks to, and I bet it would be a lot of fun to watch her process...acquiring the plates through hand me downs, thrift stores or estate sales, and then to see how she creates such a precise and smooth line. Fascinating!!
