Sky Pape "Water Works: Surface Tension"
June Kelly Gallery
This event has ended.
Pape creates her drawings by an unconventional process — working on the floor and blowing ink through tubes and funnels onto handmade paper from Japan, Korea and Nepal. For Pape, drawing is the core of any art, and her innovative approach displays both experimentation and expressiveness. “The idea of drawing with the paper instead of just upon it is characteristic of my approach to my materials,” she comments. “I draw upon the unconscious for forms skimming the surface of recognizability, which act as a threshold to aspects of individual and contemporary human experience.”
Pape, a native of Toronto, Canada, lives and works in New York City. She studied art at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, and at Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League in New York.
