Belinda Smith, Fanning The Flames, 2008.
Fabriano paper, 3m x 1.5m.
“Hi – I have sent you an image from my Fantales series, Art for a Black and White World, three dimensional paper cut outs of concertinaed black paper, that open out to form fans. Each Fantale explores current topics through patterns and geometry, the overall effect is the appearance of lace. Each shape is individually cut out to ensure that it is different from its predecessor to maintain the personal through imperfection. The Fantales are titled Fanatical, Profanity and Fanning the Flames and explore current issues around Christian and Muslim global fundamentalism. The works are three metres by 1.5 metre sheets of black Fabriano paper that has been folded into sixteen panels. I am hoping to do them in metal and laser cut them when I get back to Sydney – Best regards Belinda Smith.”
