Detroit, Michigan-based contemporary artist Amy Feigley-Lee creates sculptures that make viewers both confused and intrigued. This is thanks to their unusual geometrical shapes that play with the viewer’s perception, as well as the unique patterns that cover them.
Feigley-Lee’s sculptures are made with a combination of countless stripes from vintage wallpaper that she then uses to cover wood panels. The artist arranges the stripes, which are hand cut, based on several elements, including size and the lightness and darkness of their colors.
By combining uniquely shaped panels and patterns of wallpaper stripes, Feigley-Lee manages to create an impressive illusion of space and prompt a deeper immersion into her pieces.
According to Feigley-Lee, her unique sculptures are inspired by “colors, patterns, and textures found in wallpaper as well as the formalist sensibilities that come with being an art foundations educator.”
“I delight in visual co- creation- the complexity that exists within the contrasting of hard edges with soft colors, and definitive shapes with convoluted patterns. The result is an unexpected manifestation of an ecstatic process,” Feigley-Lee shares in her artist statement.
Feigley-Lee’s pieces have been exhibited in art galleries and museums across the United States and abroad while also finding their home in the collections of notable art collectors. Scroll down to check out more of them.
