Tape Is Drawing

When I created this piece, I felt the tape was creating expressions on its own. I felt amazed by the vibrancy and energy in this immersive, open-minded space of having the tape create itself. I followed the energy that emerged from the unknown. I felt much joy, excitement, and wonder witnessing the life energy emerge and flourish on the paper. 

At one point, I felt the instinct to use a pin to create a pattern and then carve out the paper and collage it. In the interactive and intuitive process of creating and de-creating, I felt balance and ease releasing control and the known and let the unknown take its own lead and speak its own language.
