Hinged (2006)

In this series, I explored the use of hinges and various media to engage multiple senses such as the scent of roses and lavender, the tactile nature of felt and the moving components of the objects. I also played with the idea that pieces do not need to show everything immediately, Windows may reveal what lies beneath, but other pieces need to be opened to uncover their secrets.
