Velvet Eclipse
In the Velvet Eclipse collages, the depth and softness of re-used velvet and organza becomes a surface for exploring shadow and transformation. The material’s natural absorption of light creates an almost celestial darkness, against which subtle pressed velvet highlights emerge and fade. Thees pieces captures the suspended moment of an eclipse—the meeting of concealment and illumination—where texture holds emotion as much as form.
