Corrugated & Uncalculated is an experimental installation. Abstract wall forms will be constructed on-site using recycled cardboard and available hardware.
This work is a continuation of the IRT (and Space) group show we hosted last Fall, responding to studio practice and process, sharing works that were provisional and durational. Throughout that exhibition, I built a freestyle, in-the-moment cardboard wall construction in the corner of the gallery.
Creating on-the-spot (without measurements, prototypes or context) is not my usual approach but it was an uplifting experience. For this exhibition, I’m following that joy and plan to fill the gallery with these freestyle constructions.
