Dimensional expressions
My dimensional wall art collection expands my visual identity as a painter beyond the traditional two-dimensional surface. By incorporating new and salvaged textiles, leftover paints, draping, sewing, and other dimensional elements into my paintings, I explore how materiality and physical depth can fundamentally transform the emotional experience of a painting.
These works extend my practice as a lyrical abstraction painter, where intuitive mark-making and atmospheric color create an emotional, rather than literal, experience of remembered places. Dimensionality adds another layer of discovery: textiles can soften, obscure, interrupt, or extend the painted surface, while folds, seams, unfinished edges, and overlapping materials create introduce shadows and shifting tonalities that alter as the viewer moves through the occupied space. The painting evolves from simply something to gaze at, to something to experience.
Textile wall art exploring materiality, light, and dimension
My textile wall art pieces include a range of textile-based experimentations. I approach each work as an exploration of what happens when painting moves beyond the confines of a traditional stretched canvas. Some works are stitched canvases, constructed of fragmented canvas scraps and fabric remnants, that feature raised ridges, raw edges, and visible seams to lend structured, sculptural depth to the painting field. Others I call dimensional layered paintings, wherein veils of sheer dyed textiles are intricately tucked and layered to partially obscure the underlying painting or project beyond the traditional picture plane. Still others present as loose drape paintings on repurposed dropcloths, softly gathered and left to drape, allowing gravity to dictate the final form presented to the viewer.
Regardless of their form, each approach defines a new relationship between surface and depth, revealing how variations in material and light versus shadow alter our perception of color and form. Each piece invites a move closer.
