Fault Line Study – vertical assemblage artwork with layered textures of maps, book pages, and a central blue-gray panel overlaid with curving copper wire.
Angled side view showing the depth of the box frame and layered materials within the composition.
Angled side view from the opposite direction, showing depth of the central panel and overlapping collage elements within the frame.
Side angle revealing dimensional lift of the central panel and curvature of the embedded wirework.
Side view focusing on layered paper edges, inner panel depth, and tactile interplay of collage components.
Close-up of center section showing surface texture of the vertical panel and embedded organic motifs.
View of bottom portion featuring densely clustered wire elements, blue paper fragments, and aged map textures.
Angled perspective from lower right, emphasizing structural framing and the arc of copper wire intersecting collage surfaces.

“Fault Line Study” presents a terrain under quiet strain—where printed text and fractured imagery form a visual geography of tension and release. Arcs of copper wire cut across sedimented layers of paper and ink, suggesting movement below the surface. The work invites contemplation of the unseen boundaries—those beneath the earth and within ourselves—that shift, splinter, and ultimately shape the visible world.
