This years submission for The Queen West Art Crawl is a sculptural piece by artist Nick Rubi. ‘Wanna pause it, but I can’t make it stay” consists of tree branches, Maruju Washi and sumi ink. The washi pieces are dipped into ink and hand mottled to achieve a shadow-like effect. The dyed papers are then sewn into “cocoons” to create an ethereal dance of transparency and light. The work will be on display until September 18th.
