Chromatic Hi-Five! : Additive and Subtractive involves the action of “community” as paralleled with the construction of a site specific large-scale fabric sculpture. Cutting, sewing, tailoring, talking, and collaboration - these processes form what makes this project an additive and subtractive experience which aims to collaboratively build the sculpture with the parallel uniqueness of what is "collaborative." The artist aims to question the citizens of Toronto with the conceptual approach of gathering and collecting as community praxis. The works seek to physically challenge the uniqueness of the individual a represented in a color field of fabric donations sewn into a mono-chromatic conversation.
