Description

Creations are Numberless, I Vow to Free Them is the catalog for a solo exhibition of Michael Velliquette's innovative work with the medium of paper sculpture. Velliquette redefines the unassuming nature of paper by constructing objects that convey strength, intent, and durability, but which also require conscious observation and care. They are at once abstract layers and shapes made from colored paper, and also structures that from one moment to the next suggest fortress-like constructions, tiered mandalas, or complex mechanical gears. Cut exclusively and assembled by hand, Velliquette's works can take up to 500 hours to complete.
