[a tape drawing] is not an autonomous work of art installed in a room. on the contrary, my spatial drawings have the ability to reconfigure or transform the rhythm of architecture-an intervention of limited duration...the dynamics of my work flow like a jet stream that cannot be formatted.
i just read an article about this artist in the march/april art on paper magazine and i'm totally blown away by her work. she uses miles of colored adhesive tape to create, form and enhance space. amazing work. unfortunately, she doesn't have a web site and not much of an online presence, but you can purchase back issues of the magazine here.

  1. Discovered your blog while looking at Monica's work, and discovered you also do encaustic. Double bonus and your work is inspirational.
    Love to see more.
