From @sarahcascone:
“The small scale of new growth allows her to capture her subjects in the minute detail necessary for her delicate, lace-like works. Each time-consuming piece is made on recycled materials like brown paper bags from the deli or bubblegum wrappers.

“I like things that are abject, and that transformative process,” Sian said, noting that even if her work does eventually get discarded, “at least they had a moment when they weren’t trash.”

But it’s hard to imagine anyone throwing out Sian’s gorgeous artworks, these finely detailed graphite, gouache, and ink drawings of animals amid dense vegetation, and their impossibly precise cut-out borders. The result is akin to a lace doily, the artist turning her humble materials into something undeniably exquisite and precious.“
