Pillow Series

The sculptures in the Pillow Series are visual contrivances, three-dimensional trompe d’œils. Despite their rigid and hard surfaces, they bring to mind soft cloth and squishy pillows. The unusual and colorful mosaic patterns are whimsical and evocative of exotic tapestry, antique lace, and colorful fabric. These pieces can be displayed indoors or outdoors, but should be protected from freezing temperatures and heavy rain.
