as their medium?
the answer is artist
and designer Benjamin
Shine,
who crafts portraits of serene faces using lightweight tulle fabric, not to be confused with bobbinete,
the
fine netted material allows for dramatic differences in opacity depending on
how densely it is is bunched or layered,
in
his artist
statement, Shine explains that his work “centers on ideas of energy,
impermanence and the relationship between the spiritual and the superficial.”
with
his most recent sculpture, “Quietude”, Shine scaled up his signature portraits
and built an outdoor sculpture that measures over eight feet tall,
the
fuchsia-toned sculpture was made an 80 by 20 foot piece of recycled high
density polyethylene shaped around a steel frame, and its color shifts as
natural light changes throughout the day,
you can look inside Shine’s studio in the video interview above, and see more of his work on Instagram, portraits form netting, who would have thought it?
