About the Item

Shredded and rolled non-profit and political solicitations, health care statements and spray varnish on cradled board. Jaynie Crimmins fabricates objects with meticulous handmade details that contrast with the banality of their materials. She repurposes solicitations, safety envelopes, and catalogs that are difficult to recycle because their inks often have high concentrations of heavy metals. Shredding these papers, she rolls, folds sews, and fabricates the shreds into intimate sculptural reliefs. "Nothing seemed to make it into the trash in the apartment of my Eastern European grandparents. Discarded clothing became crocheted rugs. Old curtains became aprons. Leftovers became the ingredients for new meals. Nothing was wasted, everything possible was reused. Castoff items became novel and new. This power of transformation drives my practice." --Jaynie Crimmins
