Cabinets, 2023, watercolor and mixed media

Cabinets is a movable drawing inspired by the mechanics and feeling of movable books. The two movable elements in the piece, the reflection in the mirror and the lower cabinet doors, are controlled by pushing and pulling the pull tabs on the outside of the box. Both of these features rely on the flexible qualities of paper to function. To support the movable features at a larger scale and on a wall rather than inside a book, they are incased in plywood structures which are covered in watercolor paper to maintain the internal consistency of the drawing.
