Denise Yaghmourian
Artist Statement


This series of work is inspired by my interest in combining machine made materials with hand made. The pieces are primarily black and white and utilize the box or cube as the most basic sculptural form. Hook and eye tape, typically used in bra and corset making, is combined with hand sewn thread patterns.

My main sources of inspiration come from an interest and fascination in the ideas and processes of cloning, the ways in which products are manufactured, packaged and displayed, and the combining of machine made materials with hand made. I am intrigued by the subtle and sometimes more obvious changes that occur in the repetition of the same object or image, the way same or similar objects change when placed in different positions, and the effects of light and shadow. I work with a variety of mediums including; paper pulp, wood, fabric, vinyl, and thread.
