Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, more
Five Potatoes, Six Potatoes, Seven Potatoes, More expands the evolving Potatoes series into an exuberant celebration of color, scale, and movement. Created from hand-painted rope, the large-scale sculptural installation features looping forms and oversized rope "beads" that cascade through the space, creating a playful dialogue between contemporary fiber art and architecture. Building on the visual rhythm established in the earlier installations at SCAD's Jen Library, the work invites viewers to look up, move through the environment, and experience the joyful possibilities of immersive sculpture. By transforming painted rope into monumental forms, the installation continues my exploration of textile materials as bold, interactive works of contemporary art.

Installed at SCAD's Jen Library, the work transforms traditional fiber materials into monumental contemporary sculpture, blending textile techniques with immersive installation art. Through scale, color, and tactile form, Three Potatoes, Four celebrates curiosity, connection, and the joyful possibilities of sculptural fiber art.
