Connecticut-based mixed-media artist Amy Eisenfeld Genser creates a series of coral reefs and underwater scenes using rolled of paper and acrylic paint.
"The sources of my work are textures, patterns, and grids. I look for forms that can be repeated to create a pattern when they are joined. My work tries to capture the essence of an experience or an image I have seen. I often look to the natural world for inspiration."
"These days I usually work with Thai Unryu [mulberry paper], but I have hundreds of papers in my studio from all around the world. I treat the paper almost as a pigment, layering colors one on top of the other to create different colors."
"My pieces are about a foot wide. Then I roll one layer on top of the other in all different thicknesses. I seal the roll with acid-free, archival glue stick, and then cut the long piece into sections with scissors or pruning shears. I have pruning shears of all different sizes to accommodate different widths."
"When I discovered the layered, circular form, I loved how I could use this one simple module to create worlds of compositions."
