What is a line? - Michelle Allard.

Michelle Allard's work consists of unusual instalments and sculptures that are situated in seemingly ordinary places. The materials she uses are all things that are used in house holds and have a tendency to be stuff used for packaging.

"I explore possible and fabricated conditions that evade notions of stability and constancy. Focus and negotiation is placed on progression and circulation through accumulating, layering, and reforming various quantities of common manufactured and household materials such as polystyrene, plastics, carpeting, cardboard and office paper. My work navigates around the ideas of production, 'making', material build-up, and flow. I consider the notion that everyday materials and systems, while appearing stable and knowable, often involve a vacillation of processes that defy stabilization."

The shapes and forms in most of these images are what i want to illustrate into my pictures to push the boundaries of what should and shouldn't be there making my work quite abstract.
