Topography is a study of the Italian hill town of Assisi. After learning about countless examples of urban development in relation to site design and topography, we were asked to choose a building or urban condition which existed according a strict relationship to its site, and explore the condition through the construction of a physical model. A short series of drawings and diagrams of Assisi were completed as a supplement to the physical model.

Memory and ambiguity are concepts I explore by assembling selected imagery to unearth instinctual response, self-reflection, and an open narrative.

The focus of this series is a cottage on Chautauqua Lake in Western New York where I spent every summer since birth. It was dubbed ‘Justamere Cottage’ by my grandmother for its simplicity and vintage, bare-bones personality. Exploring my memories and history through fragments of information that are collected and assembled, the reality of Justamere’s history becomes a new translation that is simplified and whimsical.

Cut paper lends a quiet fragility to my work. It is delicate, intricate, and subtle. Layering and overlapping creates shadows that echo the original, producing a repetition of shape and value. It is this play with light and shadow that I want to explore, using a simple medium to manipulate texture and form through cutting and sculpting. Through cast shadows, the space around the work becomes activated, transforming two-dimensional work into three-dimensional space.

Sculpture made from Basswood Sticks.

In our class we are using Balsa (not Basswood).  Balsa is softer than Bass.  

You can cut Balsa with a utility knife. Bass cannot be cut with a utility knife.

How would you describe your subject matter or the content of your work?
I would describe the subject matter of my work as fictional cities, viewed from writers’ perspectives and set in specific time periods. Right now I’m making a piece about Istanbul— it’s a good subject as it’s a city that has existed in history in different permutations and has a very rich and important history in over a number of different time periods quite a few centuries. The piece I’m working on is looking at Istanbul mostly in the 20th century and I’ve chosen novels to work with that consider Istanbul in this time period. In general I like to work with cities that have gone through significant change or disaster, and many cities fit the bill because most cities have gone through massive transformations at one point or another in their history.

What are you presently inspired by— are there particular things you are reading, listening to or looking at to fuel your work?
I am currently reading Ahmet Tampinar’s A Mind at Peace which looks at the Turkey of the 1920s through the 50s and Orhan Pamuk’s Istanbul: Memories and the City as well as Mehmet Kalpakli’s Ottoman Lyric Poetry. I just recently visited Istanbul and so I’m fully engaged in researching and reading about it in order to make a sculpture of it.

Nava Lubelski creates these cellular sculptures using tightly rolled paper scrolls comprised of tax returns, rejection letters, and other collected waste paper.

Shredded paper sculptures, such as the Tax Files, reconfigure a mass of paper that has been grouped and saved due to written content, into slabs reminiscent of tree cross-sections where the climate of a given year, and the tree’s overall age are visible in a single slice. Historical information is revealed in the colors of deposit slips, pay stubs, receipts and tax forms. The cellular coils spiral outward, mimicking biological growth, as they are glued together into flat rounds, which suggest lichen, doilies or disease.
