Babette Herschberger
In my Tidbit Series, I utilize informal materials such as found
cardboard and product packaging. With minimal elements of
composition, process, surface, and color, I transform the banal
original materials into a complex intersection of plane and form.
Often, these pieces are used as maquettes for considerably larger
works. This work is, in every way, a graphic distillation of my
longstanding painting practice.
My working approach is very intuitive—there are usually no
sketches and rarely a predetermined choice of color. The result
is the physical consequence of a dialogue between myself and my
materials.
