Artist Statement: While exploring the materials to build the sculptures, I wanted to focus on working with glue because i was most drawn to it. I decided to include ink designs because I feel it gives more dimension. I felt the work was lacking so I added more ink patterns. I would like to keep exploring working with dried glue.
