painted paper Sienna Shields




painted paper Since 2000, Brooklyn-based Alaskan artist Sienna Shields has been working with a process of making and painting paper to create a full! color palette that is then cut/torn!and collaged into layered!fields of paper and paint that evoke topography, quilting and colorful! explosions. As the work engages larger and larger canvases, the!fields have grown increasingly complex and varied in terrain. The process of! cutting, tearing, dying and recombining that Sienna employs thickens! the plane of the image and saturates the texture of the canvas. resulting work achieves the effect of a structural combine flattened into its most elemental particles of color and texture.
