“Bandaged” 2025
plaster cloth on canvas
16 × 20 inches
For me, plaster cloth brings to mind two things: art school and medicine. I remember getting plaster molds made of my feet as a child who needed custom orthotics. I also remember being taught to use plaster and especially plaster cloth in art school to create 3-dimensional form and texture. Plaster cloth draped on canvas here reveals movement and 3-dimensional forms we don’t always expect to see on canvas. Leaving the underlying cloth visible reminds the viewer of the ways plaster is used to cover and bandage a broken body.
