Statement
Michele Foyer creates hybrid works that merge collage, sculpture and painting. Through an idiosyncratic collage process and sensibility, she intricately cuts, tapes, paints, glues and bundles together individual paper pieces to create sculptural paintings.These hybrid works invite viewers to engage with the interplay of painted monochromatic colors and hand-cut shapes which float on luminous fluorescent hues reflected on the wall behind the piece.

New aggregates arise bringing together disparate times, places and modes of ordering experience.The works form a visual and sensory experience that embodies the inherent movement of color and its poetic qualities of relation, resonance and rhyme.
