Statement:
The fold is the motion. The eye can follow the paths taken by the sheath as the cloth meanders and winds about. The fold is the shape of memory itself. It narrates what is happening. It tells what took place here and there. The fold is not an image, it is an act. In this multiplication of folds and these gestures repeated again and again lies the memory of motion. Whether the folds are tight or loose, regular or irregular, the technique of folding implies compressing, tightening, and bending the material upon itself. Depending upon the style of fold, the results look different: scenes of rocky landscapes with faults running through; effects of clusters of dapples; simulacra of foam or froth; impressions of fossils.
