“Delish”
One of my first paper ballets, this was an homage to abstraction. The paper elements are suspended and frozen in time.
“New Beginnings”
This was my first ever paper ballet. Although much smaller, it still packs quite a punch.
“Flower Salad”
This had started with collage, with the dimensonal paper elements made from scratch. I like to choreograph them and just have fun creating dimensionality and colour clashes.
“Nocturne”
Clusters made to dance against an anthocyanine background.
“Small Ballet”
Throwing caution to the wind and just going mad with mark-making!
“Heartbeats”
Making “puso” – Cebuano hanging rice. Puso translates as “heart”. Their shape became the starting point for this ballet.
“Micro-climate”
This was fun to do.It happened so spontaneously. There is a dynamism here, which I like. But it remains “quiet” despite all the colours. When I look back at this work, I am reminded of planktons, watery worlds of the tiny but significant.
Detail shot of “Barrio Fiesta”
This piece was literally about an ordered kind of chaos, which Filipinos have in abundance, wherever you go in the Philippines. Fiestas are no exception, and I thought of re-creating this in paper.
