BOX WALL currently shown at the Fabriano Boutique - Rome
	Via del Babuino 173, Roma Box Wall hangs suspended in the air as a three dimensional textile of assembled boxes. Each individual unit is made of paper folded into cubes of roughly 5 x 6 x 4 cm. These are then sewn together to create a uniform grid that extends approximately 2 meters x 2 meters. The knitted network of voids and solids thus creates a flexible surface that gracefully takes shape as its weight naturally translates into slight bends and undulations. These in turn lend the piece a sense of movement and lightness that seemingly contradicts its inherent reference to masonry block construction. Despite the work's modular character, its overall texture has a great deal of visual variety. First of all, the piece is very porous with many openings created by missing boxes. Secondly, each box is folded so as to leave its flaps casually angled in, and these surfaces in turn catch light with different intensities, ranging from very bright when perpendicular to the light source to very dark, when hidden in shadow. The piece is currently being shown at the Fabriano Boutique in Rome, where it hangs in front of a large mirror. A reflection appears behind it and can be seen through the many openings of the Box Wall itself. The simultaneous collage of two different planes into one, as the much smaller boxes in the reflection collapse into the framed opening of the actual piece, further enhances the vibrant almost sparkling character Box Wall to present almost in spite of itself.
