Sculptures made from vintage wallpaper
-
From a distance, Amy Feigley-Lee’s colorful compositions are ambiguous and alluring. Are they woven? Protruding? Hollow? The closer one moves, details of meticulously-layered strips of wallpaper emerge on deep, geometric panels. Emphasizing color, pattern, and contrast, the artist plays with perspective and builds visual rhythms from the carefully arranged vintage material.
“The first wallpaper I used was a remnant from my grandmother’s living room,” Feigley-Lee tells Colossal. “It was a pastoral toile that really lent itself to narrative. I later found a cache of floral remnants in her attic. I used what I found, and soon after, friends and family started giving me wallpaper that they had laying around.” Now she sources much of her material from eBay, garage sales, or wherever she can find it.
