Accretion

In a life-size, fibrous sculpture made entirely of masking tape, Julia Betts explores obsessive and meditative actions that transform into wild cellular growth, evoking the body. This growth is tempered with the sense of the ephemeral through the perishable nature of the material. Accretion illustrates physical growth intertwined with natural degradation; essentially, the body in transition between disembodiment and embodiment.
