Kara D'angelo

Kara's work explores the use of abstracted structures to suggest the human form. The apparitions evoke a moment in time in which a sense of movement occurs beyond the body. The viewer's own imagination can explore the potential of each informational vessel.

Basic hand construction techniques are used to assemble simple materials such as cloth, paper or wire. Multiple units are constructed and then combined for lyrical portrayals. Each time these individual units are configured together, it is an impromptu act. The completed whole reveals the manipulation of planes and spatial articulations. This allows for a constant change of interpretation, which becomes an integral part in the perception of each work.
