Piece by Piece

November 14th, 2008 at 09:00am Amy

At first glance, you might mistake one of Laura Breitman’s pieces for a painting or photograph. But look a little closer and you’ll soon realize that it’s actually a collage made up of thousands of tiny hand-cut pieces of fabric and paper.

Breitman is "committed to expressing how light interacts with form and the task of fooling the eye." Based on photographs taken by her husband, Breitman’s intricate works draw you in to examine the carefully crafted detail. We just love what she is able to create with fabric.

"Piece by Piece," a solo exhibition by Laura Breitman, can be viewed at the Richard L. Nelson Gallery at the University of California – Davis.
